Magnetic Goo
Morah Cree noticed how much the children enjoy building with Magna-Tiles. She found a recipe for Magnetic Goo and offered it to the children.
The children mixed iron filings, laundry starch, and school glue together. The goo was pretty messy, so Morah Cree put it in plastic bags.
To show the strength of the Magnetic Goo, Morah Cree challenged the children to see if they could remove a super strong magnet from the bag of Goo.
Morah Cree showed the children how to use the super strong magnet to make the Magnetic Goo move.
We put out the bags of Magnetic Goo with a variety of magnets. The children tried out different magnets on the goo, connecting and building with them. This offering became a popular choice in the classroom.
Thank you so much for introducing this to our class, Morah Cree!
