Today, the toddlers put some oobleck (corn starch and water) in some bins with Halloween cookie cutters and let them go to town. The kids loved poking it and watching it turn into water again in their hands.

Today the infants got to play with 'ghost slime!' At first they were a little confused, but once they got used to it they enjoyed poking, slapping, pinching and pulling on it! If you would like to make some at home for your littles to play with, here is the recipe!

HOW TO MAKE SLIME WITH CORN SYRUPSTEP 1: Boil the water and add green food coloring.

Today, one of our lovely parents came in today and made 'elephant toothpaste' for the kids. What is elephant toothpaste? Well, when you mix dish soap, highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide, and yeast it created this thick foam like substance. To make it festive they decided to do it in a jack 'o' lantern! The kids loved being able to help out and watch the foam ooze out of the pumpkin.
