Flubber (Gak)
Find out what happens when you stretch it, roll something over it, or roll it into a ball and bounce it.
How to: 1. In a large container combine and mix: 1 ½ cups very warm water 2 cups Elmers white glue A few drops of water color and/or glitter if using clear glue (Make sure this combination is completely mixed.) 2. In a small container combine and mix: 1 1⁄3 cups very warm water 2 level tsp 20 Mule Team Borax* (Make sure the Borax is completely dissolved.) *Adults, please do this step, and keep the box of Borax powder away from children; it is hazardous. 3. Combine the glue and borax mixtures. Mix well using your hands until all the liquid is absorbed. You may need to squish, mix and break up the flubber to get it fully combined. Store the flubber in a plastic, air-tight container at room temperature. For best results, measure precisely and mix well as noted above. NOTE: This is enough Flubber for about six kids. — Courtesy www.omsi.edu/for-kids/flubber
