If you're a regular reader here at Fun at Home with Kids, you know that my favorite sensory material is cornstarch (also known as cornflour in the UK).

Hi Anonymous! I am so sorry - are you just seeing the title and the comments, but no photos or text? This means that your browser is mad at my site. :( Are you on Internet Explorer? If you can try a different browser or your phone it should load. And if you wouldn't mind letting me know which browser you are using on which computer (Mac or Windows), then we can look into why it's not loading for you from our end. Thank you and sorry for the frustration!!!
DeleteLOVE Cornstarch and this is such a fun roundup! Thank you so much for including us Asia :)
ReplyDeleteYay cornstarch! And of course - when I think of amazing cornstarch recipes, I always think of your ice cream dough!
DeleteWhat a great roundup! Love all these ideas, and what BEAUTIFUL photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephanie! I had so much fun staring at all these lovely photos too!!! :)
DeleteLove your site! I'm looking to invest in a great camera to take pictures of my kids that hopefully come out as beautiful as the ones you post! Would you mind sharing what camera you use?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous! Thank you! And HOORAY! I think everyone should have a lovely camera. :) So I have a Canon Rebel XT - I saved money by buying it refurbished through B and H Photo online. I would recommend if you are on a budget buying the body only. The real key to my pretty photos (other than my cute kiddos, LOL) is the lens. It's expensive (as much as the camera body in my case - eek!), but so so so worth it. It's a f/1.4 50mm lens. It's made for portraits and low light (I always shoot with natural light only). Nikon also makes great cameras, so you could also get one of those - just be sure to get the f/1.4 50mm - it's worth the price, trust me. :)
DeleteYour Ice Cream Dough Link to the Info is not working for me. It takes me to a search page. :-(
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for catching that!!! Play Create Explore has changed from www.playcreateexplore.com to www.playcreateexplore.org! I hadn't changed the link to reflect that - but now I have! Thank you again so much for taking the time to tell me! It should work now. :)
DeleteFYI cornstarch kills grass. Who would have thought? Found this out hosing our play of the deck last week.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, really? We've always rinsed ours too, but have never had anything die. Maybe we have crazy tough grass, though....?
