I'm thankful for my very creative and awesome sister who posted the Oobleck recipe on her blog. We had a blast. And clean-up was a breeze (I thought it would be a nightmare, but this stuff wiped up like a dream).
Make your own Oobleck: Put one cup of water in a bowl. Add some food coloring. Add 1½ - 2 cups corn starch. Mix well. Now play with it: grab a handful, squeeze it, make a puddle on the table and drag your finger through it, poke it, etc.
Such a great picture! Your kids have the reddest lips!
If you want to get "teachy" with it - I used to put some in big plastic zip-loc bags and let kids write letters, names, etc. in it. The letters disappear, but it's a fun tactile way to make that fun. It works on the table, too, but it keeps for a long time in the bags.
Hello, my name is Shauna. I photograph everything and everyone. I was formally educated in zoology as a wildlife biologist and ecologist but my current full-time occupation has me doing laundry, washing dishes, playing at the park, scrubbing toilets, cooking meals and packing lunches, kissing owies, helping with homework, building Lego castles, balancing the budget, mowing the lawn, planning picnics, cleaning up vomit, volunteering for the PTA, and booking the occasional vacation.

Our library didn't have it, but we still need to track down that book!
I'm glad you guys finally tried it. I want to make it again!
My kids did the same thing a few days ago, but I wish I had a picture as good as yours! Fun stuff. I was even addicted.
Looks like it was lots of fun playing with it.
