Here's another quick and easy way to keep kids busy. We've made this a few times, and it always entertains while simultaneously grossing out the kids. Slime.
It's simple enough, completely harmless and made with just a few things you probably have at home already.
- Corn starch
- Water
- Food coloring (if you want it colored)
Put about a cup of cornstarch in a bowl, add water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency. It appears solid in the bowl, but turns to slime when you try to pick it up. My kids LOVE this stuff.
You might be able to save it in a ziploc bag after they are done, but don't count on it. Fortunately, it's super cheap.
