Little hands. Making Green Goo

Our daughter absolutely loves getting hands-on and trying out new things. We recently made ourselves some green goo. - Boy was it messy and tons of fun.








What you need to make your goo:

1/2 cup of water
1 cup of cornstarch
Food coloring (color of your choice)
1 bowl

It's pretty simple, add your cornstarch to your bowl and then slowly pour your water into the bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring- using your hands mix the mixture together.- This part is tons of fun.- Get into it! Our daughter allowed the mixture to go between her fingers. She squished it together and also rubbed it between her fingers. Of course, don't forget to ask your little one a few questions about the mixture.

Questions asked:

What will happen when the cornstarch is added to the water?
Will it thicken up? Become solid?
Is the mixture thick, gooey, or slippery?

Have fun!

  1. Fun! I love this recipe. I remember when my son was a toddler and had early intervention speech therapy, the therapist who came to the house made this with him.

2 Easy Ways to Upcycle Glass Jars into DIY Candle Lanterns

I love taking something I already have around the house and giving it a little new life. These two jars started out plain and simple, but with a bit of gallery glass paint, a few butterfly stickers, and some gems, they turned into the sweetest little candle holders. They’re soft, colorful, and full of that handmade charm — the kind of gift that feels personal and thoughtful without being tied to any specific occasion. I used battery‑operated candles inside each jar, which gives them a warm, cozy glow while keeping things safe and easy.
