Rainy day fun...FLUBBER!

My little guy and I were home today and wanted something fun to do on this rainy day. I have lots of projects on my "to-do" list but today's choice was FLUBBER!!

This was seriously one of the easiest projects we have made, that had such a great success.  This stuff is really great and the kids are having a blast.

Here is what you need: (I only had a 1/2c of glue, so I halved the whole recipe and it worked GREAT!)

3/4 cup COLD water
1 cup Elmer's glue
Liquid food coloring
1/2 cup HOT water
1 tsp Borax
TWO bowls

- First you want to mix your glue and COLD water in one of your bowls and set it aside. 

- In your other bowl, mix the HOT water and the borax.  Mix it until it is completely dissolved. 

- Next, you want to slowly add the glue/water mixture to the borax mixture. Stir while adding.  It will instantly start to set so you may have to get it off your knife or stirring stick to keep mixing. 

- Mix well and then you will pour off any excess water. 

-  Then I took it in my hands and molded it together until it was a solid consistency.  It will NOT stay slimy and messy if you do it right. 

-  NOTE:  I laid ours on a paper towel for a sec and the paper towel does NOT come off..LOL  I got as much off as I could, the rest as molded INTO the flubber...can't even see it anymore.  haha

Here is our completed flubber.  It is so soft, NOT messy and easy to play with!

Small cup + flubber = fart sounds

Landon making fart sounds.  He is having a blast.

Easy to mold, stretch, roll into a ball...anything!

Fun making hand prints

We made bouncy balls also, following THIS recipe.  We were not too impressed with the finished bouncy ball but it was easy and it DID work.  Flubber is the clear winner for today's FUN!
