On a recent trip to Minnesota, my step-mom bought The Boy a new toy to pass some time. Magic Nuudles look like styrofoam, but they are made of cornstarch. You simply wet the “nuudle” with a damp cloth, and they stick together and to other objects. Once you are done playing with the nuddles, simply dissolve them in water and wash them down the sink!
The box said they were for ages 3+, but my two year old played with them without any problems. We kept an eye on him to make sure he did not try to eat them. We had a great time on a cold day creating fun designs. I will be keeping some around for rainy days!
The box at my parents was purchased for $4.99 at Hobby Lobby, but you can also purchase them online.

They have similar looking things here in Germany. Next time I’m at the toy store I’ll have to look if they’re made out of cornstarch as well.
