I read bartholomew and the oobleck and when I got to the part about the magicians I started mixing up the oobleck- I stole a hair from one of the boy's chins and shook my stocking foot over the bowl and mixed it with my hands- the residents and the kidlets were making all the fun noises "eeew, gross, can I touch it?" I scooped some oobleck into small containers so the kidlets could take it home. Thank you for the recipe, it was so much fun! It was even easy to clean up- just waited til it dried and it wiped up fine!

When I taught Preschool, I would make this with my class again and again. We called it MAGIC MUD. I would send the receipe home so that the parents could make it and the best part was that if it got on the carpet or clothes, you just let it dry completely and then sweep/vacuum or throw in the washer. I also used this with the very little ones ( 1-2 yr olds) since it was safe for them to put in their mouths. It is also called QUICKSAND and all you do is make it a tad thinner and then do a lesson around how quicksand works in real life. Oobleck is only one of the names for this crazy stuff.
