Flubber Friday

Kyleigh has been begging to make "flubber." Her friend Haley came over with some flubber in an Easter egg that she got at school and Kyleigh really wanted to make some. It took a few trips to the store to accumulate all of the items needed. Last Friday we made flubber first thing in the morning, pajamas and all. You make flubber by:

Dumping a large bottle of Elmers glue in a bowl (7.25 oz.) Then filling the bottle with warm water and adding that to the bowl. Mix it and add food color. Then you dissolve 1 tsp. of borax in 1/2 cup water and slowly add that to your glue mixture, stirring as you go. You can start stirring with your hands quickly. By the time you add all the borax mixture your flubber has formed.

I was as amazed as the girls with our flubber fun. It forms into a ball and has a little bounce, but will slime out of your hands if you aren't actively shaping it.

If anyone on Kauai wants a tsp. of borax let me know. I bought a whole box.
