Mixing up some slime

Playing with Oobleck

Going to get slimed

Baby liked oobleck (cornstarch plus water, totally okay for baby play, he didn't get to play with the other kinds in case he would try to eat them).

Messy though

We also tried to make a bouncy ball, but it didn't bounce very well.

Slime treats (jello)
