This simple gingerbread-scented oobleck is taste-safe, easy to make and smells amazing! It's the perfect Christmas sensory activity for toddlers and preschoolers.
Pour the cornstarch, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, allspice and ground cloves into a large bowl or bin. Stir with a spoon until combined.
Slowly pour the water into the dry ingredients, starting with about ½ cup and mixing well with a spoon before adding the second ½ cup.
Once all the water has been added, check the consistency of the oobleck. It should behave as a liquid when resting, and as a solid when pressure is applied to it. If mixture is too runny, add more cornstarch; if it is too solid, add more water. Then, give it to your child to play with!
