Homemade Flubber!!!

Tweet

This one is for the kids... we all have some of that in all of us, right? You just might find yourself playing with this stuff too! ;) Its squishable, gooey, and just plain fun to play with! 
I wanted to get the clear Elmer's Glue but our local Dollar Store didn't carry it.   I think the clear looks more like Flubber than the white glue, but you just have to work with what you have! Also I wouldn't substitute Elmer's for the store's brand, it just works out better, it must be a texture thing. ;)

Here is what you need:
1. 1 1/2 Cup of Warm water, divided
2. 1 Teaspoon of Borax
3. 1 Bottle (4 oz.) Elmer's Glue
4. Food Coloring
Measure precisely and Mix well, for best results!!

1/2 Cup of Warm Water and 1 Teaspoon of Borax. Mix together and dissolve the Borax. 

1 Cup of Warm Water, Food Coloring, and 4oz. of Elmer's Glue. Mix together so glue is Dissolved in the water.

I used a whisk to mix

Mix Borax Mixture and Glue Mixture together and You will see the chemical reaction right away!

Take the whisk out and mix with your hands.

Keep Mixing, Have Fun!!

Play at a table. This stuff "melts!"

The more you play with it the firmer it will get

This is a fun project to do with the kids.

Store in a Ziplock bag or air tight container and the slime will keep for two weeks.
