Gathering activities

Activities to gather children and young people

You will need: cornflour; water; large bowls.

Let the children mix cornflour and water in large bowls, and play with the resulting ‘gloop’.

When they stir the mix quickly or try to suddenly put a hand in, it will appear solid, but move it slowly and it returns to liquid. It doesn’t behave in the way you might expect a mixture to behave.
