Flubber

Here is another recipe using Borax......this one is called flubber and is also very similar to slime....not sure that there's really a difference though!  Whatever you call it, the kids love it.  Will definitely be making some different colors in the near future.

Mixture 1

3 tsp. Borax

1 cup warm water

Mixture 2

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 cups glue

food coloring

Mix together mixture 1.......borax and warm water.....make sure the borax is dissolved competely. 

Then mix together mixture 2.....warm water, glue and your choice of food coloring.

If you want it to look more slim-like, use clear glue instead of white glue.

 

Adding the glue to the warm water.

Stirring the mixture. 

We compromised with blue flubber....the boys wanted green and the girls wanted pink and purple, so we agreed on blue!   

 Once both mixtures are stirred up, add them together.......then watch the flubber form....you can stir it up a bit or mix it up with your hands.....there may be some liquid left in bottom once it has all formed together and that's ok.

It is immediately ready to play with......and boy were they ready! Thankfully it makes a good size batch because they all wanted a chance to touch it and play with it right away.

So, we headed outside and started stretching, pulling, rolling, and shaping the flubber.  They had so much fun with it.  Just keep in an air tight container when they are done playing with it.

 G had so much fun stretching it.......pretty awesome!

B was not too sure about it.....he did touch it....once!
