Lap Pads Full of Goo!

I found a great recipe for bags full of goo and thought it would be amazing as a weighted lap pad! If you put the whole recipe into one bag it has a nice weight to it. The goo is a wonderful texture and is fun to squeeze around the bag. This would be more apropriate for older children who won't try to burst the bag.

Ingredients:

4 cups water

1 cup corn starch

1/4 cup sugar

food colouring

glitter

gallon size zipper bag

duct tape

stickers to decorate!

Instructions:

Mix water, corn starch, sugar, and food colouring in a pot. Cook over medium heat until it is the texture of vaseline. Cool. Pour all of the mixture into one gallon size zipper bag, add glitter if desired and seal. Mix glitter through the goo. Duct tape around the edges of the bag and decorate as desired. You could also reinforce the clear portion of the lap pad with packing tape before using the duct tape for added security.
