Gotta Love Flubber



It's been a while since we last made flubber...so, over Thanksgiving break, we made a new batch! Definitely STILL a huge hit with the Arias boys! Dave made 'nilla with chocolate cookies, pancakes with rice, cookies with ice cream on top, and chocolate sandwiches. This is the look that he always uses when he's pointing something out to "see it better." Drew just squished 'til his heart's delight. Unfortunately, the squish rolled over to last night's apple pie...he squished so hard his face turned red as a beet! Grandpa giggled, Dave said, "Oh my!" and mom and dad just rolled their eyes...
Recipe for Flubber
Solution A: 1 1/2 cups warm water, 2 cups glue, food coloring
Solution B: 4 t. Borax, 1 1/3 cups warm water
Mix solutions in separate bowls. Dissolve well. Pour solution A into solution B. Do not mix or stir. Store in airtight containers or baggies. Makes about 3 cups...just enough for 2 boys!
