Messy Play ideas: How to make Gloop

Isn’t gloop a great word! Gloop is basically cornflour slime and it’s easy to make and fun to experiment with. It has a unique texture and is a good way of learning about solids and liquids through sensory play.

Making gloop is a messy activity so you’ll want to be prepared. You may want to try this outside, or put down some newspaper or a plastic tablecloth if you’re making gloop inside.

What you’ll need to make Gloop

• 2 cups cornflour
• cold water
• food colouring
• a large bowl and spoon

How to make Gloop

Add water gradually to cornflour until it is smooth and runny enough to be dribbled.

Add food colouring if desired.

Tips

Add only a few drops of food colouring unless you want brightly coloured hands. 3 or 4 drops is probably enough.
