Remember “Silly Putty” and “Slime?” If you enjoyed playing with either of these as a child here is a homemade version called “Goop” that you can make with your child. You may be encouraging a future scientist!
Goop
1. Two cups white glue
2. One cup liquid laundry starch
Mix together to an even consistency and have fun! Store Goop in the refrigerator.
Here is another recipe for a similar substance to Goop called “GAK”. For those inquiring minds, see http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000039> for an explanation of the scientific principles involved in creating “GAK”.
This week is “Messy But Meaningful at Kangaroo Kids,” so watch for lots of sensory activities you can do at home for some good educational fun!
