    Default Help! Cornflour!

    I've tried to mix up a tub of cornflour this morning but added to much water and its not thick enough. I have no more corn flour and have no car to go and get some. Is there anything I could thicken it with? Would it thicken if I added normal flour?.
    Thanks

    Just looked it up on web and for cooking you can add flour. I would add a bit of flour and seeing if it works.

    If you have nothing else I would say use normal flour. May not be quite the same but if it's just for messy play it should be ok

    Ok think I've got it sorted! Now when we've finished with it how do you dispose of it? X

    I usually leave mine to dry out then crumble it into the bin, as I blocked a sink at school once trying to wash it away!

    If you leave it for a bit the water will rise to the top and you'll be able to pour some off. I leave mine to dry out when we've finished, crumble it into a bag and re-use if it's not too manky!!
