Ok, in the grand scheme of things…this wasn’t that messy at all. Little J spotted this recipe for homemade flubber on Pinterest.
I was careful to use glass bowls and disposable plastic spoons to begin with.
After pouring off the excess water…it was time to dig in with my hands…at least I remembered to take off my wedding ring. 😉
Little J thought it looked like I was having way too much fun with her flubber so she traded off the camera to me.
We made the flubber a pale lavender color that doesn’t show terribly well in the photos.
Finally it was time to play. The flubber is more viscus than silly putty and a little wetter feeling. It’s a solid that behaves as a liquid. Some cool science going on there.
Of course, I had to show the kids that when stuck in a jar with any air gap, pushing on it makes the most satisfying “toot” noise. You know…passing gas…breaking wind. I’ve always used the word “toot” instead of the version of that word that starts with and f and ends with a t. I hate that word….not sure why but it just irks me…even more so when I hear young kids saying it. There, now you’ve just learned another quirk of Halle…you’re welcome.
that stuff is lots of fun
glad you got to make some and Play 🙂
I always liked the expression “a touch of wind” …very lady like…no 😉
oxo
Your “little” girl is looking all grown up. What fun the two of you must have had. Toot, toot.
oh you crack me up…we used to say ‘shoot a bunny’ instead of toot…! fun flubber!
