Galaxy Oobleck Recipe

How to make Oobleck for a Space theme or Party Activity

Ingredients
  • ½ cup of corn starch
  • About 2 to 3 tablespoons of water
  • Color of choice we used a Wilton gel color set
  • Optional: glitter
Instructions
  1. Add the cornstarch and coloring to each of your jars.
  2. One at a time, add water to the jars and mix until fully combined. I found the mixture to be fairly dry and crumbly at first (see the images for examples), but with just a little more water it all came together.

  3. The mixture will be very stiff and a little challenging to mix, great for older children but little ones will need some help to get to the correct consistency.

  4. Use the end of the spoon to scoop down to the very bottom of the jar to ensure all parts are incorporated.

  5. Once the oobleck is fully mixed together you can transfer it out into your tray. We added the glitter to it once it was out on the tray. This is a ton of fun to explore and play with!

  6. to store it add a little bit more water and transfer it to an airtight container for storage.
