Oobleck (or as we cal it in our house, gack) has always been a fun activity that Lily has enjoyed since she was the twins age! (Her first encounter with it can be seen here ) It's just a simple mixture of corn starch, water, and food coloring. When combined it make a really fun texture that becomes a solid when pressure is applied, then a liquid when left alone! It's really fun stuff, even for adults! Today I decided it was about time Ella and Violet had their first experience with our gack! Lily was also excited for the day's activity! Lily dove right in to the bucket I set up for her, and the girls came right in too, and gave it a try!
Violet didn't seem too sure at first:
And Ella just wanted to dump the container!
But then Violet got the hang of it and started exploring:
And gave it a taste (it's safe!)
I'm sure it doesn't taste to good!!
She really started to have fun with it though!!
Of course Lily was just playing along...not playing attention to us:
Ella finally gave it a try:
And a taste:
She had some fun with it!
Not sure what Ella was doing here. Looking at it from a different angle? Playing Peek a boo?
Watching her sister play:
Violet loved it the most! She had so much fun picking at it and making a mess!
And tasting it again:
Clearly this is a winning activity with her!
And the best part of gack...it cleans up in minutes! Once I let it dry, I wa able to just sweep it right up from the floor quickly! You wouldn't have even know there was a huge mess just minutes before! I love this stuff!
I have one last picture from this morning. Lily came up to me like this:
She was pretending to be Mr. Potato Head! Haha!
