Try to pick it up in your hand, smack it, scoop it into a container, run it through your fingers and watch how it changes from a liquid to a solid and back again-so fun!

This oobleck recipe has been a Fall tradition in our family for years!! Both young and old alike enjoy an afternoon of ooey gooey fun! Make sure you lay something out to catch the mess as it can get a little gooey trying to scoop it up. I found that it’s much easier to clean when I throw an old sheet down to catch the mess. Then I just throw it in the washer to clean it up.

Have you ever made an oobleck recipe in your home?? Is it a liquid or is it a solid? Weird isn’t it??
