+1 on the flubber recipe.

 

I used to make this a lot during my YMCA years. It makes a white (unless you add food coloring), moldable but soft "clay..." more squishy than firm, really. Kids can create shapes, tear them apart easily, roll it, poke it, blah blah blah... I might actually go and make this for something to do on the weekend.

 

On another note, since I don't want to make another thread, here is a recipe for what I know as "oobleck:"

 

Cornstarch

Water

 

That's it! Put a nice bunch of cornstarch into a large bowl, then add water slowly until you get a slow-flowing consistency that looks much like cake batter. You will know that you did it right if your kids are having fun with it.

 

Oobleck is basically cornstarch and water in the right proportions to create a batter-like mixture that when you slowly introduce your fingers into it, the mixture behaves like a liquid... but add any bit of resistance, and it acts as a solid. It's pretty neat, and it's a project that is much, much messier than "flubber" as wherever it ends up, it's like cake batter. However, to make clean-up easier, just rub spills of oobleck right off with your hands and then wash them immediately, since the oobleck will turn solid when you apply the force of rolling your fingers over it.

 

I tried this with the fiancee's kids... messy, but they were very interested with it. Kept them occupied for an hour at least, anyway. Plus, it's an opportunity to teach a bit of science (forms of matter)! How's that for a $0.99 box of cornstarch and tap water?
