Ooblick

Working at a summer camp for 3-6 year olds, we come up with a lot of silly games and crafts.
One of the favorites is ooblick, a mixture of about equal parts cornstarch and water that has properties of a liquid and a solid.
We add food coloring, plastic bugs and frogs. The kids love it, and we do too. This is a pretty messy one so it's best for outside.
Just use a shallow disposable baking dish and have a hose ready and cleanup will be a breeze.
