Fluffy stuff

Over Christmas Break, I tried to do a few fun projects with the kids. One of the projects that we did is called "fluffy stuff". It is a mixture of cornstarch and shaving cream. It was so easy to make, so fun to play with, and provided the girls with something new to do that kept them busy for an hour. It had such a fun texture to it. You could make snowballs out of it, mold into a snowman, make a racetrack, and then the second you wanted to do something new, all you had to do was squish it and it instantly became soft and smooth and moldable again. So fun!! The girls decided to play a game called find the Hershey kiss. I gave them both a Hershey kiss to hide in the stuff and then they would have to find the other persons. Then they decided to get out the measuring cups and make cookies and cakes and whatever else they could think of.
 Here they are mixing it all together. In the beginning of the process, it looks really messy, but once you get all mixed well, it is very dry and easy to work with and comes right off of your hands.
