Gooey Goop

Do you need a fun science project for your kids? Or just a fun way for them to pass the time? Or you? I don't have kids, but I'm still having fun with this! It's like a combination of silly putty and slime. 
It's GOOEY GOOP!



Plus, you only need 3 ingredients (and water)!


 In a glass bowl, mix glue and 1/2 c. water.


Add food coloring. 
(If you use more than 2 drops, you may transfer color to your hands when playing with the goop.)


Mix well.


In a separate bowl, mix remaining 1/2 c. water and borax.


Pour into glue mixture.


Mix well. It will begin to form and clump together, but try to stir in as much of the water as you can. 


Once you can't stir anymore, begin kneading and "smushing" goop around to soak up remaining water.


I moved it to a baking dish at this point to help shape it a little more. 


Squish, smash, and mold!



 Store in a Ziploc bag or airtight container.
