Flubber!!

This flubber recipe was not only super fun to play with but super easy to make! A definite hit at our house with the little girls AND the big kids who kept asking for some to play with too.

FLUBBER

1/2 cup white Elmer’s glue
2/3 cup warm water
food coloring
1 teaspoon Borax
2 glass bowls
In a small glass bowl, mix together glue, 1/3 cup warm water and food coloring (add enough drop until desired color). In another glass bowl, mix Borax and 1/3 cup warm water. Pour glue solution into bowl containing Borax mixture, gently stir together. It will be wet, and within a few minutes it will set.http://www.frugalvillage.com/2011/03/30/create-kids-crafts-in-your-kitchen/

A pinterest find

We just found the most fun thing on Pinterest! For anyone that doesn't know about pinterst, you should. It is like a digital file cabinet to organize ideas and it has a bazillion ideas on pretty much everything. I have found some really fun ideas to do with kids there. One of our Pinterest finds is sidewalk paint. It is very easy to make and my girls spent hours outside decorating the sidewalk. Such a fun way to switch up the classic sidewalk chalk! When we first painted with this stuff I thought it was going to be more of the paint with water kind of things, but as it dried (and it dried fast since it is so hot this summer) the color appeared like magic. My only advice is when you add food color, add more than you think you might need for a brighter color.
