Fun with Flubber - Courtesy of Omni Learning Centre

What the heck is Flubber?? I asked myself the same question and my friends at Omni Learning Centre not only showed me, but gave me their recipe to share with you fine people! Before you get started, be prepared for jiggly, cold, slime that's super-fun to squish through your fingers and it really isn't that messy at all. It's the perfect Halloween activity or Halloween party favour. I've also included some links to free printable Halloween labels if you choose to bottle your concoctions.

  Recipe for Flubber

In one bowl:

• Equal parts of water and white glue 300ml (each ¾ a baby wipe container)

• Food colouring – to colour it whatever colour you want, use with caution      
   however because if you use too much it will stain your skin and clothes.

In another bowl:

• The same amount of warm water as the glue and water mixture. i.e. for ours  
   we use 600-700 ml of warm water.

• Dissolve 4 tablespoons of borax

• Pour the glue and water mixture into the water and borax. DO NOT MIX.

• Leave for about a minute and then gently lift in and out 3 or 4  
   times.

• Then lift the flubber from the water and borax.

• Squeeze the excess water from the borax mixture as you lift it out. Be careful 
   that none of the solution gets on your clothes at this time as it my stain.
