Ooze
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
You will need
1 cup of dry cornstarch
large bowl or pan
food coloring (if you want)
1/2 cup of water
1. Make sure you work on an easy to clean
surface and easy to clean floor. This stuff can
drip and get messy but you just have to wipe it
with a damp cloth because it dries really fast and
turns right back to powder.
2. Put the cornstarch into the bowl. Add a drop
or two of food coloring. (Use whatever colors
you like.) Add water slowly, mixing the
cornstarch and water with your fingers until all
the powder is wet.
3. Keep adding water until the Ooze feels like a
liquid when you're mixing it slowly. Then try
tapping on the surface with your finger or a
spoon. When Ooze is just right, it won't splash.
It will feel solid.
If your Ooze is too powdery, add a little more
water. If it's too wet, add more cornstarch. It
will be hard to work with if you move too fast.
You have to mix it slowly and trust that it really
will work out.
It will start to dry out and turn back to powder
after awhile so if you want to save it you should
add some more water and put it in a ziplock.
Things to try
Pick up a handful and squeeze it. Stop squeezing
and it will drip through your fingers.
Rest your fingers on the surface of the Ooze. Let
them sink down to the bottom of the bowl. Then
try to pull them out fast.
Take a blob and roll it between your hands to
make a ball. Then stop rolling. The Ooze will
trickle away between your fingers.
Put a small plastic toy on the surface. Does it
stay there or does it sink?
