Somewhere along the line during my internet surfing I discovered a blog post by
Laura at Come Together Kids about Gak and decided I would love to make some with Sir N. Well we ended up creating flubber instead!
How to make Flubber
Ingredients:
Bowl 1
- 1 cup of PVA glue
- 3/4 cup of warm water
- food colouring
Bowl 2
- 1/2 cup of water
- 2 teaspoons of Borax (available in your laundry isle at the supermarket)
Photo story of our unintended journey to ....
Flubber
 |
| Add glue, water and food colour to one bowl |
 |
| Mix well |
 |
| In a separate bowl mix borax and water |
 |
| Add borax water to glue mix |
 |
| "Yuk Mommy it's slimy " |
 |
| Then it became lumpy |
 |
| Carry on 'kneading' and water will separate out |
 |
| Flubber! When it breaks apart it is straight. Squeeze back together. Form things etc and play. |
 |
| Store in a zip lock plastic bag in the fridge. |
 |
| When left alone it will 'relax' and spread. |
Have fun with some flubber in your home

It is for play purposes only.

Ummmmmmmmmm that is interesting! does this set and get hard when not stored in a plastic bag? Is it sticky when working with it as you are using glue as an ingredient? I have never heard of this sort of play dough or flugger as you call it.
ReplyDeleteIt was interresting :) No it does not set and no it is not sticky at all. It becomes almost like plastic plasticine :) strange feeling Sir N enjoyed playing with it. It's in the fridge still. Not sure how long it will last though
