Ziploc Art

It's been a while since I posted pictures of Chloe. So, today I thought I could share our morning craft.

Another great idea from Pinterest just got put to use in our household. Who knew Chloe was a budding little Picasso? You can go straight to the 'Color in a Bag' link on Disney's FamilyFun site, but read through this post first because I made a mistake.

Or don't. You're probably smarter than me.

Ingredients: 4c water, 1c corn starch, 1/2c sugar, food coloring, Ziploc bags,
packing tape.

I'm not going to give the step by step. But you cook the sugar, water and corn starch for about 30 min. {Please go read the directions if you are going to try this.}

What is this?

Her Backyardigan is helping her out.

Here is where you can tell I messed up. The first two bags I made a solid color. There is only green in bag 1 and only pink in bag 2. You are supposed to mix the colors. Put multiple colors in one bag. I fixed it in the picture below. Of course, Chloe didn't seem to mind the mix up. She was more into the texture of the Ziploc goo bag than swirling the colors together.

This is the correct way to bag the goo.

Honestly, I thought this would be more fun. I spent more time making the project than Chloe did playing with it. It was worth a shot?

Good news is that the site claims the stuff lasts a week. Maybe we'll get more use out of it.
