Ooey, Gooey Sensory Fun!

Week Two of summer camp was full of sensory activities. Each child was sent home with a small sample of our concoctions that we made each day. Below you will find the recipes to the popular creations. Enjoy!


Oobleck
1 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
food coloring

Mix ingredients together. Mixture will crumble in the hands, and then appear to liquefy.

Jell-O Finger Paint
Any sugar free flavored jello
enough boiling water to make it a gooey consistency for fingerpaint. (very little is needed)

Flubber
2 cups Elmer's Glue
Food Coloring
4 tablespoons Borax (found in the laundry section)
warm water

In one bowl mix in 1 1/2 cups of warm water, glue, and food coloring. In a seperate bowl mix in Borax with 1 1/3 cups of warm water. Pour the glue mixture into the mixture. Do not stir or mix it will form on its own. Pour off extra liquid. Store in a plastic bag.

Goop
1 Part Liquid Starch
2 parts white glue
food coloring

Add starch to glue mixture becomes a workable ball. Store in refrigerator in a covered container.

When jello is cool, children may begin to fingerpaint.
