Fun with Shaving Cream and Cornflour!

So I am always on the lookout for things I think look interesting, different and let's face it, COOL! I came across this idea on Pinterest a few months ago and have been dying to try it out and see what it's like. Of course it makes more sense to make it with a group than just me on my lonesome!

We mixed 2 cans of shaving cream and 2 boxes of cornflour. It was the strangest sensation at first, a bit sticky, a bit slimy but the more the students played with it, it got thicker and tougher. After about an hour of little hands playing with it, the mixture became somewhat solid but malleable and they could start to make shapes and objects with it, without it losing it's shape. It was great and the texture was quite unusual! Try it for yourself!

    

 

 The kids LOVED playing around with this new and interesting mixture!
