oobleck

Dr. Seuss is amazing. EVERY book we read of his sparks imagination, fun and adventure. Today we read Bartholomew and the Oobleck. What a great story. It made us want to play with our version of oobleck. After making the slimy oobleck, the kids were attacked, just like the King and his Kingdom in the book! This stuff is awesome. My kids play with it for hours and hours. After you make the oobleck it will become your families favorite as well. Here is our recipe!

OOBLECK

INGREDIENTS:

2 bottles of Elmer's Glue

1 tsp Borax

Water

Food Coloring

DIRECTIONS:

Emtpy the bottles of glue into a disposable bowl. (Easier cleanup). Then fill the glue bottles up with warm water and shake. Empty into the bowl.

Add food coloring. I use Americolor gel paste food coloring.

Add 1/2 cup of warm water to a cup. Add the borax to the water. Stir until dissolved. Pour this into the glue bowl. Start stirring and you will notice it become stringy. When this happens start mixing with your hands. After a few minutes it will come together. The more you play with it the better consistency it will become.
