Fun Recipes
**6 Foot Bubbles**
--1 cup yellow/blue ultra Dawn or Ivory dish soap
3-4 Tbls. glycerin
12 cup clean cold water (up to 50% more on dry days)

Measure 12 cups of water, then add dish soap. Add the glycerin. Stir, but not too much. If it froths, skim off the top.

**Flubber**
2 cups white glue
2 cups water
1/3 cup warm water
About 10 drops food coloring
1 tablespoon Borax
Ziploc baggie or plastic tub

Mix togeter 2 cups of water, glue, and food cloring until well blended. 1/3 cup warm water and mix until blended. Add Borax mixture to the glue mixture. Stir immediatly! Magically the mixture will thicken. Repeat Borax and warm water step two more times, these times using3 tablespoons Borax and 1 cup of water. Let it set a few minutes and it's ready to use. Store in Ziplock baggie (remove air if possible) or a little plastic tub. This will keep a long time, it's not messy like playdough, and it's not sticky. BORAX IS TOXIC, so make sure you tell children not to put it in their mouths.

**Goop**
1 box of cornstarch
Water

Add cornstarch to a container. Add enough water to the cornstarch to reach the desired consistency. It changes its form, going from solid to a liquid then back again.

**Gak**
8-oz glue bottle
2 cups water
1 tbs. Borax
Food coloring (optional)
Extract (e.g., mint, orange, vanilla for scent - optional)

A) Mix the glue and 1 cup of water then set aside. B) Boil 1 cup of water with 1 tablespoon Borax. Mix A and B together and knead until all the liquid is gone (few minutes of hard work!) Store in a ziplock baggie or airtight container. Mix in food coloring and/or extract, if desired. BORAX IS TOXIC, so make sure you tell children not to put this in their mouths.
