Flubber Fun

Every time a commercial comes on about flubber, gak, anything gooey like that, my girls beeeg for it.  Like that helps.

We were supposed to be having some tornadoes and storms come through one week, so we bought our ingredients so we could make some while we watched the storms.

This stuff is so cool!  I mean really, what kid wouldn't want some?  The neatest part was to mix it up and watch it turn into flubber.

I got this idea to make bubbles with it, and it was so fun to make these huuuuge bubbles.  I gave the girls straws to use.  They got pretty good at it.

See the tv in the background?  Watching the tornadoes come through.  I think this was right before I had to put all four kids in the bathtub.

Here's the recipe.  I actually only made half the recipe and it was plenty.

Flubber

Mixture 1:

1 ½ cups warm water

2 cups Elmer’s Glue  

Food coloring
 

Mixture 2:

3 tsp. Borax
1 cup Warm Water

Stir mixture 1 together in 1 bowl.

Mixture 2 in another bowl.
 

Make sure both are mixed well.
 

Pour mixture 1 into mixture 2.

You don't even have to really mix it.  After the chemical reaction, just work it around for a few minutes.  It feels really wet at first, but dries up pretty quick.

Then you can bounce it, stretch it, cut it...pretty fun stuff.
