Flubber Recipe

Easy, Not Messy & Fun

September 15, 2015

Inspired by our many visits to The Lab For Kids, we made some flubber (a little thinker consistency than slime).  Not messy at all! 

Here is what you need:
3/4 cup cold water

1 cup Elmer’s glue (2 bottles of glue - hope you stashed up during the great sales for back to school). 

liquid food coloring - used just about 2 drops (it goes a long way) 

1/2 cup hot water - 30 seconds in the microwave 

1 teaspoon Borax (you can find this in a box in the laundry aisle) approx $3

Directions:

In bowl 1 – mix together the cold water, glue, and food coloring. Set it aside.

In bowl 2 – mix together the hot water and Borax, until the Borax is completely dissolved.

Slowly add glue mixture to borax mixture. Mix well. Pour off excess water.
