Ooey, Gooey, Messy Fun

On Tuesday, January 24, 2012 we will make Flubber!!
Idea and recipe from http://momto2poshlildivas.blogspot.com/2012/01/flubber-gak-fun.html#comment-form
Once we finish mixing, we will have have fun exploring the flubber's textures and discovering what we can make with it! When children are through exploring they can move on to free play.


Ideas for at home:
  • To make Flubber at home use the link above for the recipe and what to do.
  • Kids love to mix and pour. For this activity you need a cookie sheet, plastic tub or other, to contain the spills. Spills will happen and that's okay! In the cookie sheet put small containers of colored water with spoons, mixing sticks, and droppers (I  have saved droppers from baby Tylenol). I keep a bag of these supplies in our "toy closet." When ever we need a quiet, hands on activity, the mix 'n pour supplies are ready!

  • Go out into the snow and look for animal tracks. Check out this blog for animal track ideas: http://the-learning-lab.blogspot.com/2012/01/winter-wonderland.html
Have fun exploring, let your little ones be your guide!
