Today was a pro D day for Max so asked if we could goop for art. We hadn't done that in quite some time so I said " sure, why not". Jamie and Max went straight to squeezing and squishing the goop through their fingers. When Max was the last one left at the table he worked hard at trying to make all the goop into a big ball without it melting from the heat of his hands. Soon he asked "can I put this in the frezzer"? I answered " why". Max answerd "I want to see what will happen" I asked him"what do you think will happen"? He shrugged his sholders and said "It might freeze". "lets find out" was my response. Science experiments in action! Love it.





This was Nathans first time playing with the goop. He didn't sit in a chair but was free to roam around the table and see how his friends scooped, squeezed, poked and scrapped the corn starch mixture with their hands and various utensils. He loved then mess!




This was also Amelias first time with the goop, she wasn't so sure about what to do with it at first. But after watching max and Jamie dive right in and cover their hands with strings of the stuff she decided to try it out by poking it with her fingers which led to squeezing it, and letting it flow through her fingers. After I stepped back from the table she anounced "cake" I asked her "is that a cake you made". She answered "yup". I asked "I wonder who it's for?" and she said " Melia". Amelia has great languge development for a child her age!
