Flubber!

Remember "Slime" from the 80's that came in a garbage can?  Flubber has the same feel...

How to make Flubber

Batch 1:  
1 1/2 C very warm water
2 C Elmer's Glue
Liquid Water Color
Glitter (optional)

Batch 2:
2 tsp Borax (I couldn't find Borax laundry detergent, but Jamie found Boraxo hand soap which was the same stuff)
1 1/3 C very warm water

1.  Mix batch 1 in bowl
2.  Mix batch 2 in separate bowl
3.  Pour batch 1 into batch 2
4.  Grab flubber and work for 2-3 minutes

Flubber will keep in a sealed container for 2-3 weeks
Flubber may stick to clothes, etc. but is easily dissolved by vinegar (phew!)

We just made our first batch today and it turned out perfect!  Zoe played with it for hours!

Try stretching it around a large straw and blowing a bubble with it.
