Stretchy Goo
Directions
Step 1
Place 1/2 cup of water in an old or disposable medium bowl. Pour in the entire bottle of glue and mix together.
Step 2
Add as much food colouring as you desire until your favourite colour is achieved.
Step 3
In a separate container, heat one cup of water. Wearing gloves, carefully add 1 tbs of Borax and mix well until it dissolves. Add the remaining 1/2 tbs of Borax and mix well.
Step 4
Wearing gloves pour the Borax water into your glue mixture and stir well. It will immediately start to clump together and form a glob in the centre with liquid surrounding it.
Step 5
Carefully lift out the glob and squish it in your gloved hands until it becomes less wet and binds together. Discard the excess liquid that remains in the bowl.
