Flubber Recipe

[rebann]

Does anyone have the flubber recipe? I can't find it and wanted to make it with my girls soon. They love playing with it and it's not hard to make. I know it's Borax and something? Thanks.

1 cup white glue
food coloring, your choice of color
1 cup liquid starch
Pour glue and coloring in plastic container.

Stir until color is thoroughly mixed in. Add starch a little at a time, stirring with a spoon or kneading with your fingers as mixture thickens. Keep stirring until mixture holds together like putty. Test with your fingers: if too sticky, add more starch in small amounts until mass is smooth and rubbery.

Note: As in all recipes, results can vary depending on humidity, conditions, etc. Please try any recipe out before attempting in a group setting.

This project is rated VERY EASY to do.

Wire whisk
1 cup all purpose glue
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon tempera paint, your choice of color
Borax

Mix together with wire whisk the all purpose glue, water, and tempera paint. I used the powdered tempera, but the liquid works just as well -- just don't mix the powdered too thin.
Mix separately 1/3 c. water and ½ tsp. borax. Slowly pour borax mix into glue mix. Let stand a few minutes, then knead. Pour off any remaining liquid. Store in plastic bags. Repeat for different colors.

Recipe For Slime

2 cups white glue (Elmer's or just white craft glue. Please make sure glue used is water soluble)
2 cups Water
Food colorings
1 tsp. Borax

In a bowl, mix the glue, 1 1/2 cups of the water and food coloring. In a separate bowl, dissolve the borax in 1/2 cup of water. Add to the glue mixture. You will get a very thick clump of Slime where the two mix.

Mix in one bowl:

3/4 cup of water
1 cup glue (such as Elmer's)

Dissolve in separate bowl:

1 cup water
1 tsp. borax

Add both mixtures together and add any coloring you might want if any. You get a great shiny plastic like silly putty that is really fun! Should be stored the same as play doh. Hope you enjoy it.

Wow! Thank you too for all the fun recipes!!! I am so curious about why Borax is an ingredient in so many of these craft recipes?

We made two batches of Flubber yesterday and my girls had the best time playing with it. Even dad couldn't help playing with it a little!
