Today we made GAK! With minimal ingredients and a little elbow grease from the kids, they now have some very fun icky, sticky, putty stuff that they are loving!
Ingredients:
1 4 oz bottle school glue
2 Tbls Borax
Food coloring
Water
 |
| Step 1: Pour a 4 oz bottle of regular school glue into 1/2 cup of water. |
 |
| Step 2: Mix well (slow stirring makes for a bored son, but a clean table!) |
 |
| Step 3: Add food coloring (however many drops you want...) |
 |
| Step 4 & 5: Measure 1 cup water and heat for 1 minute in the microwave. Then add 2 Tablespoons Borax (stir until dissolved.) |
 |
| Step 6: Pour Borax and water mixture into glue and water mixture. (Look...this is almost immediately after combining the two!) |
 |
| After you stir a little, the two mixtures will thicken. |
 |
Once you have a thick blob in the middle, you'll see water around the edges.
|
 |
| Time to grab it! |
 |
| Squeeze until it's all mixed well. |
 |
| If you pull it fast, it breaks! |
|
 |
| If you pull it slowly, it stretches! |
