We are having so much fun completing the activities on our Summer Fun List. I was watching my nephew and he read over our list and said he really wanted to do Outdoor Oobleck with us and that is just what we did.
I originally intended on filling a small baby pool with Oobleck, but I was really not sure how much cornstarch I would need to do that, I got five boxes and figured we could see how much that would make. Once I got the boxes home I realized that we would need a smaller container for the Oobleck than I thought. I was happy to find this under the bed storage bin in the shed which worked really well. It probably could have used a few more boxes, but now we know for next time!
I dumped all 5 boxes into the bin and then added about 2 small buckets of water. The recipe is 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part water. We also added green food coloring which left all of our hands a lovely tinge of green :0)
Outdoor Oobleck Fun!!!
I hope to do this again with a few more boxes of cornstarch since we discovered that Oobleck is very relaxing for adults to play with too!

We love Oobleck, too! Dip your feet in it on a hot day. Ahhhh...
I am going to have to make it with cornstarch one of these days. I made it with Borax before but then I was informed that it was toxic so I have to try it again!
Ooh, we've never made such a big batch before! Looks like fun!
