Corn Starch and Water

Ok. so first let me start out by saying this was the COOLEST PROJECT we have done yet.  Now that being said, Bennett was a bit hesitant about it, Not saying he didn't love it, he did, I just don't think this was his all time favorite. Maybe because it made the coolest texture I have ever felt!!

Once B finally fell asleep, my husband and I stayed up and played with it for like an hour!! (and I think we made more of a mess with it than B did!)

We started with just corn starch. Which alone is kind of a strange feeling, its powdery, but its also, uhh, like squeaky?? Its strange! this whole thing was strange.

Anyways B LOVED this, Nike got involved too, and we had a ball!

Then we added a little water, about a cup, and by a "cup" I mean like a glass of water, like a short tumbler, of water, and things got weird, quickly.

We finally decided to add food coloring, which was way more fun to B than just keeping it white, He did all the color mixing himself!

also I did a little (very little) research on if its actually ok to eat corn starch (I mean, its a food thing, so it is safe, but seriously can you eat a whole jug of it?) basically what I found was "don't eat TOO much or it COULD make you sick, possibly, but were not sure" so this was a good time to introduce "out of your mouth" but I wasn't too worried when he kept eating it (should have had lunch FIRST lol) and he ended up eating, a lot, and not a single issue, poops are good, skin was good, and he was a happy camper all day!
