Awesome cornstarch-shaving-cream paste

Hi readers! Today's post is all about how to make your own squishy paste. It's really fun to play with and so easy to make. You need: 

• Equal parts cornstarch and shaving cream (you can also mess around with it to see what proportion works best)
• Food coloring of your choice (I used green)
• Wax paper
• A place to sit (preferably outdoors, because your play surface will get very, very dirty.)
• A parent who will let you do messy projects  

To start, go to where you're going to sit. Put a sheet of wax paper where you want to work. Place your cornstarch, shaving cream, and food coloring on the paper (best if you do it in that order). Then mix.

So? What do you think? Do you like it? Does it feel weird? Creamy-ish? Try throwing it. Try rolling it into a sphere. Try forming it into a cube shape. Roll it into a worm. Add glitter. Or baking soda. Or water. What's wrong with salt? Flour? Cornstarch? (Oh wait, you're already using that.) My point is, you can do tons of things with this stuff. Make it. Make it. MAKE IT!!!!!!!!

Here are some pics of the paste:
