Sensory Activity: Mint Color Oobleck Recipe

Oobleck is a great sensory activity.  Is it a solid or liquid?  It's a solid when pressure is applied and it turns to liquid when Oobleck is held loosely.   This is a fun project for kids!  Learn how to make it here.

You will need:

Cornstarch
Green (or blue and yellow) food coloring
Measuring cup
Water
Large container

Add 2 part cornstarch, 1 part water, and 3 drops of green food coloring.  I used 2 cups of cornstarch, 1 cup of water, and 3 drops of green food coloring.  Then mix well.

Once mixed, it's ready to be played with.  YAY!

You may wade it up into a ball or into different shapes.

You may squish it around when it's liquid.
