Flubber Fun

So, I needed to find something fun for the girls to do this Labor Day weekend. Ben and I have a lot of little projects we are trying to do and it is so hot outside that I needed something to entertain them. My friend, Stacey, posted this on her blog so I thought I would try it. I have played with it before, but never made it myself. I am sure most of you already know about this, but IT WORKED. The girls have loved playing with it all day. Thanks Stacey!!! Ben even played with it a little bit.

Flubber

Mixture 1:
3/4 cup very warm water
1 cup Elmer's glue (I used 2 4 oz bottles)
Food Coloring

Mixture 2:
2 tsp Borax (find it by the laundry detergent and cheap!)
1/2 cup very warm water

Combine mixture 1 in one bowl and mixture 2 in another bowl. Make sure both are mixed well. Pour mixture 1 into mixture 2 and watch the cool reaction. After a couple of minutes, start working the mixture with your hands. After a couple more minutes, it will be dry (not sticky) and ready to play with. The girls loved rolling it out with rolling pins and sticking tooth picks and cookie cutters in. You can store it in a ziploc bag and it will last forever!. My friend also mentioned that if it does stick on anything just use regular vinegar to dissolve the stuff. Have Fun!
