Default Goop

2 packets of corn flour
2 cups of water
Food colouring
Plastic or newspaper covered table, preferably outdoors :laughing:
Large container
Aprons

Mix the water with colouring and corn flour. The goop should have a thick consistency, add extra water if necessary.

Children put on aprons. Plunge hands into the goop and feel the consistency. Use words to describe the feeling.

Enjoy exploring the goop, it runs through the fingers, swirls slowly and has a pleasant, heavy feeling. Patterns can be made in the air and on the table.
