Activity of the Week-Making Gloop



This week I am going to tell you how to make gloop as a messy play activity. During my time in nursery this was always a favourite with the children but I must warn you the execution of this is important unless you want a very messy home .
I advise you do this with a large plastic wipeable activity mat on the floor and the children have a long sleeved apron on or old clothes.  Gloop goes from being a solid to then a liquid so its really hard to clear up off carpet or floor.

How to make the gloop
  1. Get a large plastic mixing bowl and add 16oz of cornflour
  2. Add one cup of water
  3. Add food coluring, glitter or anything else you fancy

For an added extra add some toys such as cars, figures on anything else to make the gloop even more exciting.

Tip
When you are finished with the gloop I suggest you put the bowl somewhere to dry out then it will be easy to tidy up as you can tip the contents into the bin.
