Flubber Recipe

I use to love making Flubber when I taught preschool.  It is so easy to make and the kids loved it!
I made some today with my two kids and it was the same...Easy to make and they really enjoyed it :)

To make Flubber you need:
Warm water
Glue
Food Coloring (optional)
Borax

The Borax was actually easy to find...Target had it for $3.  I looked it up on amazon but the cheapest i found it was for $7.   You can always go in with some friends and share the cost :)


Mixture A
3/4 C. Warm Water
1 C. Elmers Glue
Food Coloring

Mixture B
2 teaspoon Borax
1/2 C Warm Water


Stir Mixture A into a small or medium bowl.  Mix Mixture B into a large bowl.  Make sure that both bowls are mixed well.






Pour mixture A into Mixture B reach your hand in and pull out the flubber :)





Here's what it looks like when it's finished





There will be extra water in the bowl but that's ok :)

I had my kids play with it on placemats.  You can use cookie cutters, play scissors, rolling pins.  Its just fun to play with and feel.  Great sensory activity :)
