'GLOOP' - okay, so just how do you make it

[underpaidandoverworked]

No matter how many times I try to make this, can't get it right. Always end up looking stupid in front of mindees . Have promised to try again tomorrow - how much cornflour and how much water do you use

Gosh, not sure! I think I used to just add water slowly, until I got the desired thickness! Sorry, not much help really!

oh hang on i think i have a recipe

no sorry, it just says cornflour and water, the play doh however has more details!
sorry

put the cornflower in first, then slowly add water until you get the desired consitancy.

add food colouring to thewater if you want.

green food colouring, it looks like snot then, although mixing fairy soap flakes with a tiny amount of warm water and green colouring and mixing with a electric mixer (takes forever by hand) looks even more like snot

Put at least a cupful of cornflour in a bowl and then add water spoonful by spooful, stirring after each addition.
Its like icing sugar, you needa lot less than you think. When you can leave tracks with a spoon that then sort of merge afterwards like wet sand stop!

Water slowly added as the others have said! I made this with my charges a while back, video online somewhere too hehe

And we made blue, but I let 8yo pour the food colouring and so much went in that our hands were stained for a good few days afterwards, I still had blue around my nails for about 5 days? It just would not come off!

Shoshe - am sure children will like idea of snot . Right, all prepared - thanks all - will let you know how it goes

The famous 5 website has a demo of a lady making it. I'm fascinated by the thought that you can hit something with a spoon hard and it's solid but lay the same spoon on top and it sinks. Weird.

Should make for a good 'observation' . I was fascinated myself first time I saw it -I played with it more than kids at toddler group . Must Google it to see if anyone knows why it does that............

i love playing with gloop! very therapeutic.

definitely could do with a gloop session today.
