This experiment is so cool! The mixture turns hard as it sits in the bowl. As you pick it up it molds and turns to a goo or slime type texture. Then watch as it turns to liquid!

Ideas to Try :

  • Pick up the hard mixture and roll into a ball in your hands. Your child will feel it harden and form a solid ball. Then open his hand and watch it turn into a gooey texture and then into liquid!
  • Let him place his hand into the mixture. The mixture will mold to his hand as a liquid and turn to a solid. But no fear, as he lifts his hand up it will turn to liquid again!
  • Let him pour it on you!
  • Let him enjoy the feel of the mixture as he plays with the mixture and feels as the texture changes.
  • Use kitchen items like spoons and cups to play with the magical mixture.
  • Add food coloring and create fun colors.
  • Put parts in a Ziploc bag and watch it move.
When you are done store in a ziploc bag. It turns back into powder. You will just add water the next time you want to play!
