The Flubber Gak

Tuesdays are always troubling at our place as its the first day of the week at the childcare inor the kiddos and they are really tired after a full day of play there....but since Anya has been eagerly awaiting making n playing with 'gak' for a few days now..she was eager to get to it as soon as we entered the house...

It was by far the most fun n intriguing activity we've done so far....even for Anam! Although he couldn't make the gak...he did have his share of playing with the strange slushy slippery yuk! Of course under strict supervision!

For the fun n excitement that it has provided ..this is a really simple project...

Supplies needed...

1) 3 cups warm water

2.) 2 cups white PVA glue

3) 2 tsp Borax (found in the laundry n cleaning isle in the local supermarket)

4) Watercolors in the desired shade

5) Glitter (optional)

6) a big bowl & a small container 

1. In the small container, mix the borax in 1 cup warm water until it completely dissolves.

2. In the bigger bowl mix the remaining 2 cups warm water with the glue until all combined.

3. Add any watercolor and glitter to the glue mix and combine.

4. Now add the borax mix into the glue bowl and mix.

5. At this point the glue mix shud b getting all slushy n flubbery...I got Anya to dig in the bowl with her hands n combine n knead the mix until its no more tacky n forms a big blob. She had loads of fun doing all this.

6. Now we got the blob out of the bowl and Anya stretched n squished n mushed the gak on the table...she used cookie cutters to cut it anf we even made hand prints for both kiddos. It was gr8 fun for both of them. 

We then pached it into an airtight container to be opened tomorrow for lotsa more squishy pishy fun!

Hope some of you try this out and have as much fun as we did. In any case do tell us your experience!
