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!!
