FLUBBER!

Chloe and I made FLUBBER today! How fun! It's easy - and can I just say - pretty fun to play with. We made Green and Purple! This is a GREAT project for the kids to help with! Here's the recipe:

In a Large Bowl, add:
  • 2 cups of Elmer's All White Glue (one 16 oz bottle is just right)
  • 1 1/2 cups of very warm water
  • Food Coloring of your choice (This is where Chloe had the most fun!)
Mix the above ingredients thoroughly and set aside.

In a Small Bowl, add:
  • 1 1/2 cups of very warm water
  • 3 tablespoons of Borax
Dissolve the Borax completely in the water.

Now, pour the contents of the small bowl slowly into the large bowl. Stir the mixture until it starts to "flubberize". Let is sit for about a minute and then remove the flubber. (Note: there WILL be extra water - you can just squeeze the flubber to drain the water.)

Store in an airtight container.

I actually bought these really cool containers at K-Mart by American Fare ($2.79 for 2) that are quart size with a lid and they work great and the flubber fits perfectly!

Have Fun!

I asked Chloe this morning during the "walk" to Kid Crossing what she liked most about this weekend - first was making your card for mothers day - then the flubber! What a great mother you are!
