Corn Starch Fun

Have you ever played with corn starch and water? I am not talking gravies and sauces, here. I am talking strictly fun and fascination!

Take some corn starch and put in a bowl. Slowly add water and mix with your fingers until it is the consistency of a watery putty. If you don't know what I am talking about, that is ok, because when you hit the right consistency, you will know it! This stuff is so much fun! If you stir slowly, it is a liquid. But, if you try to stir quickly, it becomes a solid! You can roll it into a ball between your hands, but then when you stop rolling, it turns back into a liquid. Fun to play with!

Words of caution...when you are done with it, don't pour it down the sink as it will clog the pipes. And...if you keep it around for a couple days, it will begin to have a less than fresh aroma...

Have fun!
