Learn how to make goop or in some places in the world how to make oobleck in this simple tutorial. Goop is one of my favorite sensory activities for babies as well as toddlers, preschoolers and elementary students.
How to make oobleck: The ratio is approximately 2 to 1. How much you make will be determined by your sensory table size. Start with 2 cups of cornstarch and then mix in the water. Sometimes we put the oobleck on a tray, sometimes on the large storage tote and other times straight up on a plastic table if there is a little lip there to keep everything from falling. Today we had some very very messy fun!
We mixed cornstarch and water which is known as Maizena in some parts of the world and mixed it to create a fun and unique texture that is sure to keep kids and adults busy! It was such a beautiful day outside so I took this opportunity to introduce this activity to A. D has done this quite a few times already and has loved it every time. What is great about this activity is that you are exposing them to a different texture than what they are normally used to.
I added some large buttons into the mixture so that the kids could search for them… and A could practice her pincer grasp by picking them up. For those of you that attempt this with young kids please keep your eye on them at all times… buttons can be a chocking hazard…. I chose to use very large buttons because of this but as you can see, I had a very close eye on my 1 year old. D would run his finger through the mixture and pick it up and watch the liquid ooze down his fingers… This mixture looks a little hard but when you touch it..

Please update me on how this turns out. The kids are usually crazy for it for a couple days and then the adults take over for the second half of the week! You know, I have to say that I appreciate you having that makeshift sensory table in your home — its nice to see how often you use it, and how engaged your daughter is.
This might be in our classroom sensory table soon! I love your blog. Keep up the great ideas. I just did this today with my 20 month old. It was super messy and so much fun. Equally fun for me. What an incredible reaction.
I kept telling my husband to come over and look. Anyway, thanks so much for the great directions. Love your blog! My daughter and son tried to have a goo war but they would roll it up get ready to throw it and then it would go to a liquid. Hold it gently and Goop is a liquid dripping easily through your fingers. Reply 5 years ago. We found the pictures valuable. We like that they are close up and there is very little distracting in the background.
They were very specific, however several pictures were redundant. For example in step 2, there was a picture measuring the cornstarch followed by a picture of that cornstarch in the bowl. The second picture is unnecessary. This same idea relates to steps 2, 3 and 4. Your gutters are too obvious. Using fewer pictures would still be successful. We appreciate that your steps were broken up into smaller steps, instead of one large block of text.
The instructions overall were very short and specific. We feel as though we could successfully make Goop. Good job! Good Lord Emily. I certainly hope people don't disect you the way you have scrutinized these instructions!!!! Quite certainly you wouldn't appreciate such harsh critiquing upon any of your endeavours!!!! Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. This goop is very fun to play with.
In the bowl it becomes a kind of a solid seprated from the water and when you pick up the goop it turns liquid. It is very fascinating to see the matter changes. And if you add a Tbs of oil it will give it extra gloss and smoothness. Pros 1.
