<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17px;">2 parts cornstarch, 1 part water.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 17px;">Mix in a bowl (will be thick and hard to stir at first - should melt through your fingers when ready) and pour onto a baking sheet or in a shallow dish pan for exploration. If it seems to thin and "milky," add cornstarch slowly until desired consistency. Children love to use their hands or a simple tool (spoon, popsicle stick) while exploring. Add drops of food coloring for more fun!
