Get Messy With Your Kids

Just wanted to post some recipes for some summer time fun with your kids!!!

Homemade Goo

* 8oz. white glue
* 3/4 c. water
* 1 tsp. Borax
*1-2 Tbl. water
* food coloring
Combine glue, 3/4 c. water & coloring in a bowl. Combine Borax with 1-2 Tbl. water. Mix together until a blob forms. Remove blob from mixture. Add a new batch of Borax mixture to glue mixture. Repeat process until glue mixture is gone. Knead all blobs together. Store in airtight container.

Bubbleology
1 c. liquid dish detergent
1. gallon water
1 c. light Karo syrup
Mix all ingredients in a bucket. Use tin cans, (with tops & bottoms removed), to make great bubbles. The larger the can, the larger the bubble!

Homemade Chalk
1 c. Plaster of Paris
1/2 c. cool water
Liquid tempera paint or food coloring
Mix plaster of paris with water, then add paint/coloring. Next, pour mixture in ice cube trays & let harden for a day. You can also use small sandwich bags, molding mixture into tube shapes.

Funny Putty
* 2 parts white glue
* 1 part liquid starch
* tempera paint
Mix glue & starch together. If too sticky, add more starch. Add paint for color.
