Silly Putty Goo

This week, many of the children had lots of fun doing a science activity with Cory! When asked what they thought about his ‘Silly Putty Goo’ experiment, some of the answers I received included “Super Cool!” and “Totally Awesome!” We are so glad that the kids enjoy the afternoon activities offered at Junior OSC. Here is the recipe for Cory’s Silly Putty Goo if you want to try it for yourself at home!
