And my girls (5.5 and 3yrs) LOVE it. Sometimes I'll add a squirt of finger paint to lend it some non-staining color. I also set them up in the kitchen sink to play with it. It contains splatter mess. Then when they're done I fill the sink with water (to dilute the cornstarch) and rinse it down the drain (the diluting is important so you don't clog your pipes.)SallyNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457195241429331445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-87482826136361007912012-07-21T21:38:58.188-07:002012-07-21T21:38:58.188-07:00Thanks!

It always bugs me that, as parents in science, we're expected to work out of hours, but not payed enough to do so. Either the attitude or the pay needs to change.<br />Also, I've always loved playing with cornflourFishscientistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-15970200723074414862012-07-20T23:25:44.693-07:002012-07-20T23:25:44.693-07:00Love the possum comparison and story.Love the possum comparison and story.blue milkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341937205299573052noreply@blogger.com
