Yes I am for a post pandemic camp out! 🏕️

Love the term Liddle!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Welcome to everyone who is new! 😎

For my goey slime friends: Oobleck


1 part water
1.5 to 2 parts cornstarch
Small amount of food coloring (optional)

Mix ingredients
Start with the water in a bowl (or wading pool!) and add the cornstarch a bit at a time.
Keep stirring until it has a gooey consistency. You may want to use your hands.
When the oobleck is just right, slowly add food coloring, if you want. This can be a challenge to get it mixed properly.
Play with it.

Things to do with oobleck

Grab a handful and squeeze it. Let it ooze through your fingers.

Make a puddle and quickly drag your fingers through it.

Put it into a plastic container and shake it or quickly bump it against a table.

Jab at the oobleck and then slowly let your finger sink in.

Roll some oobleck into a ball. It becomes solid, but when you stop moving it, it will melt back into your hand.

Some science projects use oobleck. Experiments you can try include:

Put some oobleck on an old speaker and watch it dance:

Put a lot of it in a kiddie pool and walk across it:

Tips
Store in an air-tight container. Mix occasionally.
If you put in food coloring, you may notice a little bit of color left on your hands after washing. Don't worry. It should go away in a day or two.
Anything put into the slime can be washed with soap and water.
To dispose of the oobleck, mix it with a lot of hot water to make a very loose slurry. Pour a small amount into the drain while the hot water is running.
Oobleck when dried can be easily vacuumed.
Warnings
Don't drop oobleck on a couch, deck, or sidewalk. It's hard to get off.
Oobleck isn't poisonous, but it tastes awful. Wash your hands after playing. Make sure children are supervised.
Wear old clothes, as oobleck tends to get messy.
Don't worry too much if it gets on something; it will come out with a little water.
Lay a couple newspapers on the floor so it doesn't get all over the floor or table.
Oobleck may solidify if it's not kept wet. If it hardens, just throw it away.
If oobleck is left out too long, it will dry out and turn back to cornstarch.

Hope it's ok to post this here. But I want to start a challenge Saturday the 30th for all littles and middles. Arts and crafts! Make a blog and post something you've made. Doesnt matter what it is. It could be a pic you colored or drew. Or something you made with your hands. Just wanted the littles/middles to be able to show off. 😊💜😊
