Guck!

Thanks to my friend, Jenn, over at Our Many Beautiful Blessings, the boys got a special treat of slimy science fun today. We made Guck! The boys are having so much fun with it!

The recipe:
~Mix together 1 cup white glue (ie: Elmer's school glue)and 1 1/2 cups water. Add food coloring or tempra paint to desired color.

~In a seperate bowl, mix 1 1/2 Tbsp Borax with 1/2 cup water. Stir till the powder is dissolved, then pour the Borax mixture into the glue mixture. Continue stirring as you pour or the Borax will settle.

~Instantly a chemical reaction occurs creating a glob in the bowl. Remove the spoon and knead/squish by hand until all the liquid is gone. Store in an airtight container.

Even Dad got in on the fun!
