Logan dove right in and was loving it! He kept calling it "slam" rather than slime and thought it was great how it would stretch.
We added some plastic forks and spoons and then he drove some of his matchbox cars through it and made circles with his cups, etc etc etc.
The best was putting body parts in the flubber... hands were an obvious first choice followed quickly with sock removal and foot squishing.
Logan even wanted to share with Abby and let sister have some experience with the flubber.
Next up was BELLY PRINTS! He was pretty thrilled that his belly button showed up. He even tried his nose, ears and elbows!
Abby was pretty impressed with watching her big brother! (Please ignore the scissors behind her - clearly those should have been up in a safe place! All is well though!)
The flubber will stay good for about 3 weeks in an air tight container on the counter. Logan has played with it 3 or 4 times since and has still been having a good time!
I made HALF a batch for Logan - the recipe below is for double what I made for him.
What you need:
Warm water 3 tsp. Borax (non-toxic/available by laundry detergents)
2 cups of white glue
Food coloring
What to do:
In a large container, (such as a large bowl), combine 1.5 cups warm water, 2 cups white glue and food coloring.
In a second, smaller container, combine 11/3 cups warm water with 3 tsp. Borax.
Mix ingredients in each container thoroughly.
Pour contents of small container into the large container.
Gently lift and turn the mixture until approximately a tablespoon of liquid is left.
Flubber will be sticky at first. Let excess liquid drip off. Flubber will then be ready!
