Flubber Recipe


We had so much fun today making this awesome slime recipe. The ingredients are mostly non-toxic, but be sure not to get any in your eyes and don't let the kids eat it. It is easy to clean up, just keep it off of cloth as it likes to soak into fabric.

Flubber will mold but you can prolong its life indefinitely if you keep it in the refrigerator.


Ingredients:

- 4 oz white school glue
- 1 tsp borax
- water
- food coloring (optional)

1. Pour the entire bottle of glue into a cup or jar.

2. Fill the glue bottle with water and pour into the jar with the glue. Mix well. Add food coloring if you want to; otherwise, your slime will be white.

3. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup water with 1 teaspoon borax.

4. Slowly stir the glue mixture into the borax mixture.

5. The slime will thicken in the middle. Once it thickens up a little, remove the slime from the bowl of water. Knead and roll the slime in your hands until it feels dry.

6. Have fun! Flubber slime will wash up with plain water.
