blob

Australian scientists have solved a mystery which has gripped Sydney: what were the sticky dark blobs which washed up on some of the city's famed beaches last month?

So far, they have grown tiny blobs of skin, out of which have sprouted little hairs.

White blobs have been washing up on the beaches of Newfoundland recently, sparking an investigation by Canadian officials.

This was a revival of an older recipe, we were told, but the chicken was a blob of blubber with the consistency of paper.

But ask an early childhood educator about Play-Doh, and it’s a science experiment, an opportunity for sensory exploration, a fine motor skills activity, and an introduction to color mixing, all rolled into one squishy blob.
