Frugal Fun Challenge has made this great DIY Kids project for making your own flubber. Does anyone remember that movie with Robin Williams? This is a more flexible, gigglier, wetter version of play dough.
What You’ll Need:
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 and 2 in a separate bowl.
How To Do It:
- Mix bowl 1 and 2 together
- You won’t need to stir the mixture because it is the chemical reaction that actually makes the flubber.
- When it has formed a glob, work it for 2-3 minutes.
- It feels wet at first but it eventually dries up to the final product.
