Ingredients for Slime, Flubber or Goop:This is ingredients for goop for 1 person, we divided the original recipe into 4.
- 2 oz. household glue
- 1/4 cup of water
- Large cup
- poster paint in desired color
- 1/4 cup of warm water
- 1/4 to 3/8 tsp. Borax powder
- small cup
- 2 stirring sticks
Instructions:
1. Squeeze the glue into the big cup. Add the water and stir until mixed.
Add several drops of paint. Combine several colors if you want or just stick to one color. The more color you add, the more intense your slime will be.
2. Mix the Borax powder and the warm water in the other smaller cup. Don’t worry if you can’t get all of the little clumps to dissappear.
3. Stirring constantly, slowly pour the Borax mixture into the glue mixture. Stir and swirl the results with the stirring stick until you can no longer stir and the goop is fairly firm.
4. Take the goop out of the cup and use your hands to squeeze the excess water out of the goop until it becomes firm and flubbery. Your goob is done when it’s firm. Have fun playing with your goob!
Tip: Borax can be found in the detergent section of your local grocery store.
Tip: If gooey goop gets on clothing, wash it out quickly with soap and water.
Age: This is a fun activity for kids ages 5 and up. Parents should handle mixing and squeezing goob for the younger kids.
