Hi does anyone know how to make gloop and also once used does it have to be thrown away or can it be kept in a container.

if you go on to www.bbbc.co.uk and in search put gloop it tells you how to make it.

I use cornflour and water. I have kept it in the messy tray for 3 days but it does dry out - you just add some more water. You can add food colouring too. Normally 2 cups cornflour to 1 cup water.:)

When (if) the summer comes do it outside. Loads of fun. It's addictive I spend ages playing with it too:p

Oh my gawd, I loooove gloop! In fact, I think I like it more than the kids.:laughing: It just fascinates me how it can go from solid to liquidy just like that.

Wow, now I'm jonesing for the gloop! Gonna have to make some up.

May try adding a few drops of essential oil next time, too. Lavender gloop. *sigh*:cool:

NO this is Wales it will rain soon enough :laughing:

It wipes off the kids quite easily cos it's only water and cornflower either that or sit them in a paddling pool after:laughing: . It doesn't cause any probs to the children with eczema that have used it either cos it's natural (without dye)

Love the idea of doing it but I think it will be one we hold off until better weather and can do it outside, guranteed to be messy with 2 x 1 year olds and a 2 year old. The hose down sounds like a good idea.:laughing:
