What is this mysterious substance? It’s Oobleck! Not quite a liquid and not quite a solid, Oobleck is runny when at rest and solid when put under pressure. It’s easy to make at home and provides a two-in-one sensory play experiment for your little one! Here’s how: 🎨 Add food coloring to 1 cup water. 🥣 In a large mixing bowl, combine colored water and 21⁄4 cups cornstarch. 🥄 Stir with a spoon until incorporated. ⏲️ Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes. 😮 Ooh and ahh over your oobleck! As your child handles Oobleck, one set of nerve cells in their brain captures information about how it looks as it runs, and a separate set codes how it feels between their fingers. 🧠 Pro tip: Keep a wet towel nearby to help your toddler wash the Oobleck from their fingers if it gets to be too much!
