This is something my daughter brought home from kindergarten.

Rainbow Stew
Materials:
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 3-5 drops of food coloring (red, blue, yellow)
  • Hot plate or stove
  • Pot for mixing
  • Strong sealable clear plastic bags
  • 3 small to medium mixing bowls
 
Directions:
Mix sugar, cornstarch and 1 cup of water in pot. Heat and stir until cornstarch dissolves. Add remaining 3 cups of water. Cook over medium heat until mixture becomes thick. Divide mixture into 3 bowls. Add food coloring to 2 of the bowls- 1 color per bowl, leave 1 bowl white, and mix well. Place equal amounts of 2 colors and white into plastic bags, push air out and seal tightly, tape if necessary. Then let the kids squish and mix.
