Freaky for Flubber

Today our Practicum  Student made Flubber with the Children.  They had so much fun.  It is so important to make sure children get sensory time.  I like to think of it as a time to hit the reset button on the day.  Such wonderful conversation happens in these moments and such joy.

what you need:

3/4 cup cold water

1 cup Elmer’s glue

liquid food coloring

1/2 cup hot water

1 teaspoon borax (you can find this in a box in the laundry aisle)

directions:

step 1: in bowl 1 – mix together the cold water, glue, and food coloring. set aside.

step 2: in bowl 2 – mix together the hot water and borax, until the borax is completely dissolved.

step 3: slowly add glue mixture to borax mixture. mix well. pour off excess water.
