Mixed in with the extra work, extra cleaning, extra arguing, extra expense, and all the other extras that keep families from homeschooling is:
EXTRA FUN! . . . (and extra time with the kids, extra bonding, extra love, extra problem solving skills, extra work ethic, extra skills . . . and on and on 
Check out this crazy goo called flubber we love to make. It’s rubber, slime, and play dough all rolled into one.
I have the recipe, directions, where to buy ingredients, and a how-to video posted on my homeschool blog on how to make it.
Enjoy!
(For those of you too impatient to check out my other post, here’s a bare bones recipe:)
Bowl #1 – Mix thoroughly
- 1 cup white glue
- 3/4 c warm water
- food coloring (opt.)
Bowl #2 – mix thoroughly
- 1/2 c. warm water
- 2 t. Borax (20 Mule Team is one brand)
After mixing each bowl separately, mix them together. It is amazingly cool as a polymer is formed. Read about the science behind the reaction here.
Stir with a spoon, or for the more adventurous, mix with your hands. Don’t quit, the gluey slime will suddenly harden into a great cross between slime and silly putty.
I remember my WSU Chemistry class made flubber, it is fun stuff!
This is a goooooood looking recipe! I’ll be sure to share it with my friends. Thanks for taking your time and posting it! I’ll really enjoy having this.
Ben,
Glad you enjoyed it. My kids love it!
