OOBLIK (Magic Muck)

Oh the fun things I learn in my Childcare Classes!

A Fun Gooey Mess For The Kids To Play In...

*(This is one of my favorites)*

3/4 Cup Cornstarch

1/3 Cup Water

5-7 Drops Food Coloring (Optional)

Mix water and food coloring together in a small bowl.
Slowly add cornstarch to water.
Do Not Stir!
Let the mixture stand for 2-3 minutes.
Pickup a handful of Magic Muck and squeeze it until it forms a hard ball. Open your hand and it will turn from a solid ball back into a liquid.
It can be messy, but a lot of fun! It can be easily cleaned up.

IDEAS:Experiment by adding different proportions of water and cornstarch.
Add a little glitter to make it sparkle.

Paper Plate Bunny

Here is an easy and fun Easter project I did with my class. Cut one paper plate in half for the ears and another paper plate for the head. I also glued string on for whiskers.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

~Use a mixer to combine the powdered sugar, peanut butter, and corn syrup. It will thicken as you add the powdered milk so you will have to knead the final result until it is smooth.

~Using clean hands, let the children play and eat their creations.
