Malleable activities

Manford nursery loves using gloop!

The children help to mix cornflour, water and food colouring, until the mixture has a custard like consistency.





They can stir it, run their fingers through it, squeeze the mixture into a solid, then open their fingers and let the gloop run out like a liquid.





Using gloop in class encourages talk. The children show each other what they are doing and use description to explain what is happening.
