Pumpkin Squishy Bags!

i have really gotten into "projects" to do with trey. i found this blog via my friend, Auntie Megan, www.thepoefam.blogspot.com. this blog has some great projects, she was a teacher like myself. and i noticed she did the ice watercolor activity too:)and while i don't hold a candle to this "super mom"(check out her FABULOUS lunches she makes for her son, her letter of the week activities,monthly FUN DAYS, she is amazing and much more organized than i will ever be!!)
i am, however, having a blast making our own "rendition" of the project. the point of this project is to show how different colors are made. Ex: red + yellow = orange. trey didn't really grasp that concept he just LOVED pouring in the food coloring, stirring the GOO, and squishing the goo in the bag! Great idea for a older toddlers.

GOO RECIPE:
4 cups of water
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup of starch
cook on medium heat for about 5min. and STIR the entire time until it thickens into GOO. Let cool.

the end result: think we poured in too much red.....
