It’s time to create a substance that would blow Einstein’s mind! Defying the laws of physics, this extraordinary goop is the easiest and most exciting experiment that children of all ages have enjoyed creating for many years. With just a few basic ingredients this creation can make any rainy or boring day come to life. Is it a liquid or is it a solid? I guess it’s time to find out…
You will need:
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Spoon
- Food Coloring of any color
- 1 cup of Corn Starch
- 1/3 cup of Water
- 1 cup measuring cup
- 1/3 cup measuring cup
- 1 zip lock bag
- Clean, flat working environment that can get a little messy
* Note: The brand of cornstarch and food coloring is not important to the end result.

No-cook playdough recipe
Every toddler loves squishing playdough, but have you ever tried making it with them? I did this today and I think it was the most fun my two-year-old has had since discovering the tissue box.
This recipe is so simple I wonder why I have only ever paid for the ready-made stuff? The mixture doesn’t need cooking or boiling water added, which is great as hot playdough can scald little hands (in case he gets his eager mitts on it before it’s cooled). This is a totally safe one for your toddler to make and as I’ve discovered, the only thing better than playdough to a toddler is making it.
Take this activity outside as toddler-made playdough has to be the definition of messy fun!
Ingredients
2 cups plain flour
1 cup salt
1 cup cold water
1 tbs oil
Liquid food colouring
Method
- Step 1: In a large bowl, add the flour and salt. Stir.
- Step 2: Add the water, oil, drops of food colouring (add as many drops as you like to get the desired hue)
- Step 3: Knead the mixture until it has a playdough consistency (you may need to help with this bit to ensure it’s well-kneaded).
- Tip! If consistency is too wet, add a little more plain flour.
Have fun making different coloured batches!
