I made a fun new "toy" for Gavin to play with while I did some things for dinner tonight (and thankfully Dane slept through it in the swing, awesome)! I was reminded of how much fun this particular mixture can be when we were watching a PBS show called Sid the Science Kid. We mixed water and cornstarch (and a little food coloring to make it more fun) and I let Gavin mix it up and touch it and use a scoop to play.
He wasn't interested in touching it at first but he enjoyed mixing and scooping it. When Scott got home from work he played with it too. He thought it was cool because it looks like a liquid but when you scoop or touch it, it is more solid and then turns back into a goopy/slimey liquid. Since he had never seen it before it was fun to watch him play with it as well! I need to find more science projects now because Gavin was really interested and loved it. This (and other things) will be so much fun to pass the time when we are stuck inside due to bad weather this winter!
