Cornflour gloop why

I love how you have tied it in with a story — great idea! Think what I used while called cornflour may not have been fine enough bc it did still feel a little gritty like some sander fine meal had been added. Even though I was playing with it, but after a little bit spilled on the table and he tried to pick it up, he soon put his hands in and loved it Such a great activity.

We added a few drops of food colouring to our white gloop once it was in the tray. Harry loved watching the colour spread out into the gloop and got quite excited about it.

Harry used the spoons, measuring cups and his hands to try and pick up the gloopy gloop. He loved watching the mixture moving back together after he had made holes in it.

He picked it up and let it trickle out of his hands. He used the scrapers to make tracks and spooned the mixture into the cake cases to make gloopy gloop cakes.

Before long Harry was sitting in the gloop and covered in it! He played with it for nearly an hour and by the time he had finished the cornflour had turned back into a powder which helped with the cleaning up as it was easily brushed up. Harry chatted away to himself as he always does throughout this activity and he really used his imagination.

The gloop became cakes, ice and soup!
