Just one cup of warm water...
And two cups of cornflour later...
Makes hours of messy gloopy, tactile fun....
But here's the science bit...
Apparently this mixture is a non Newtonian substance.The surface wrinkles and forms ripples when blown on, you can drag a paint brush through it and even slide it right out of the bowl.
However the substance is responsive to pressure and when touched or hit with an object it immediately hardens to a solid.
It has the weirdest texture and is really fun to play with.
Here's a step by step guide on you tube with lots of great ideas for playing with your own gloop.
Oh we do love this stuff;-) Milly - who is always up for experimenting in this way - likes to add liquid paint and shaving foam to hers! xx
