Bartholomew and the Oobleck

I was on Pinterest one day a few weeks ago. That website can really suck you in! I ended up clicking on a blog that had tons of ideas for kids. Some how I came across a recipe for oobleck. Memories from my childhood came back to me. I remember playing with the ooey gooey stuff on more than one occasion. I thought this would be a great activity for the kids. I am always looking for ideas for our Family Home Evening nights so I wanted to make this one of them. I checked out the book Bartholomew and the Oobleck from the library. While Daniel read that to the kids I mixed up the fun stuff and we let the kids go at it!

I was a little unsure how Addie would like it because she usually doesn't like to get her hands dirty/sticky but she seemed to have fun!

This kid was all over it. I had to help hold on to the plate because I was worried the whole thing would end up on the floor!

He was pretty happy that we were allowing him to get messy.

Daniel claims he has never played with oobleck before (although I am pretty sure I made it once before earlier in our marriage) so we made him get his hands in it when the kids were done. I think everyone enjoyed it and it was a success!
