Notes
PRO TIP: You will know your oobleck is ready once it feels smooth like honey, but can stretch and rip with your hands. If your mixture is not quite there, add more cornstarch or water until you get the right consistency!The recipe may vary depending on the size of your sensory bin. I doubled the recipe in my under-the-bed 40qt storage bin.
