Recipe for flubber

I had a lot of requests for this, so here it is:
you need water, elmers glue, borax, and food coloring


FLUBBER

What to do:
In a large container combine and mix:
1 ½ cups very warm water
2 cups Elmers white glue
A few drops of water color and/or glitter if using clear glue
Mix this combination thoroughly
In a small container combine and mix
1 1/3 cups very warm water
2 level tsp 20 Mule Team Borax
Mix this combination thoroughly
Use your hands to mix the contents of the small container into the large container.
Lift and turn the mixture until it is fully combined. Discard any leftover liquid.



It is a lot of fun, and will keep for quite a while in a plastic bag or container. My boys love to put it in a cup and make noises by sticking their fingers in it to release air bubbles. You know what kind of sounds I'm talking about. Jake could do that for hours!

Enjoy!!
