Ooey-Gooey Fun: What happens when you mix cornstarch and water?
A lot of fun that’s what! This activity not only allows your child a fascinating sensory experience, it also introduces the science concepts of mixture and experimenting as we blend various amounts of water and cornstarch together and come up with different consistencies of our mixture.
Movin’ and Groovin’
Plans are to put on some fun tunes and do some free-style dancing. We may also do some guided movement and sing some songs with hand motions, depending on the age of the group.
