Rainy Day Ideas—Gloop! Ingredients: 2 cups of cornflour 1 cup of water 1 or 2 drops of food colouring (optional but green is great for Halloween!!) Mix the ingredients together with your hands in a large bowl. Once mixed you can roll it, dribble it, punch it and generally have fun. An apron or old clothes are a good idea, but don’t worry, as once it’s dry it will just brush off.
