This lemonade oobleck is so much fun! Not only is it great to create and play with but it’s also really good for fine motor skills as well. 


 
In our house, texture and creativity is a big deal. We love slime, playdough, edible playdough and anything else that combines crafting, creativity, and sensory play. But what I love most about this oobleck recipe is that it just smells so good!
 

Now that the summer months are here, it’s time to get creative during all hours of the day. This craft recipe is one that you’ll find yourselves making over and over again! Plus, making oobleck is on our summer sensory bucket list! 

 

Lemonade Oobleck

Here’s the deal about this lemonade oobleck. It just smells like summer. And parents, it’s going to be a little messy to make…but I can assure you that it’s worth it in the end. This craft is fun and will keep your child engaged and entertained for hours. There’s just something so comforting about having this squishiness between your fingers! 

 

This is a fun hands-on science project for kids of all ages. Is it a liquid? Is it solid? That depends on how you touch it. When pressure is applied the cornstarch bond together to form a solid, when a soft touch is applied to the fluid, it remains in the liquid state. This non-newtonian fluid is a great example of suspension, as the grains of cornstarch are suspended in the water, but over time will settle to the bottom if allowed to rest for an extended amount of time. 

What you need to make homemade lemonade oobleck 

  • 1 cup of cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 2 tablespoons of lemonade mix
  • A bowl
  • A craft stick 

How to make lemonade oobleck 

Pour the water into the bowl.
 
Add lemonade mix, stir with the craft stick until well mixed.
 
Add cornstarch and mix.
 
 
See how simple this craft recipe is?

What are the ways that oobleck can be played with?

There are so many different ways. It can be stretched, rolled, or even cut with a knife! Just store it in an airtight container so it has a long shelf life ahead of it.
 
 
Get ready to love this awesome craft. So simple and easy to make!
