Edible Oobleck Tasting (Cornstarch + Water)

⏱ Prep time: 5 min 🎨 Mess level: Full chaos

A cornstarch-and-water goo that acts solid and liquid at once — safe if it goes in the mouth.

Steps

  1. Mix 2 parts cornstarch with 1 part water in a shallow bowl or tray.
  2. Stir until it forms a thick, gooey mixture — squeeze it and it firms up, let go and it drips.
  3. Let your baby press, squish, and taste it directly on the highchair tray.
  4. Wipe up right away — dried cornstarch flakes off easily but doesn’t dissolve in water well.

Notes

This version is plain cornstarch and water, so it’s safe if your baby licks their fingers, unlike glue-based slime recipes.
