Bartholomew and the Oobleck

Recipe for Oobleck

2 cups of corn starch
3 drops of green food coloring
enough water to make a thick mixture (about the texture of pancake batter) I usually measure equal amounts of water and corn starch, but mix water in slowly.

Mix all ingredients together. This makes a fun mixture to play with textures. Use different utensils, such as a spatula, bowl, and funnels, to see what form the mixture will take.

To celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday, Ms. Kim created oobleck and read "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" which was a hit with some of the kids.
