Here's The Scoop On Goop!

This is such a cool thing to do. I made it for the kids and found out that I liked it as much as they did. The properties of Goop are incredible! The possibilities for the imagination are endless. Here's the scoop and have fun!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 rounded teaspoon 20 Mule Team Borax
• 8 oz. white school glue (Elmer's glue, for example)
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 15 drops of food coloring (optional - can be messy)
  

INSTRUCTIONS:

• In a glass bowl, stir together 1 cup of water, the white glue, and the food coloring.
• Dissolve all the borax powder in the remaining 1/4 cup water.
• Add borax mixture to glue mix and stir until a slimy lump forms. Stir vigorously for another 30 seconds.
• Remove the lump of slime and kneed it with your hands to dry it and complete the reaction.
• In 2 minutes or so, you should be holding a ball of wonderful slime that pulls clean from your hands.

THINGS TO DO WITH GOOP:

• Push into small kid-size cups. This will make funny noises and the giggles will last forever.
• Try sticking a straw into part of the Flubber and blowing a bubble.
• Let your hand ooze into the Flubber and watch it act like a liquid.
• Then remove your hand and punch the Flubber. It will act like a solid.

Wicked Cool.

Word To The Wise: Goop is child safe but personally, I wouldn't give it to very young children. They might want to eat it or laminate it to something priceless like your Persian rug or favorite Monet.
