Glurch

This picture is not of anyone I know, but it came up when I googled "Gooey Gunk picture". I like it.

I love the book The Ultimate Book Of Kid Concoctions. (Sometimes you can find it in the Scholastic Book Orders for really cheap.) There are so many fun recipes for things like sidewalk chalk, peanut butter playdough, bath crayons, and one of my favorites... Glurch (they call it Gooey Gunk in the book). I've used this recipe at preschool and home a million times and it is always so much fun.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

Solution A
1 cup water
1 cup white glue
2 Tbs liquid tempera paint or 7-10 drops food coloring

Solution B
1 1/3 cup warm water
4 tsp borax laundry booster (you can buy this anywhere in the laundry aisle).

HOW TO CONCOCT IT:

1. Mix ingredients in solution A together in a medium bowl.
2. In a second medium bowl, mix the ingredients in solution B together until the borax is completely dissolved.
3. Slowly pour solution A into solution B (do not mix!).
4. Roll solution A around in solution B 4-5 times.
5. Lift solution A out of solution B and knead for 2-3 minutes.
6. Store Gunk in an airtight container or plastic zip bag.

I saw this picture on a random blog and it looks like a fun thing to try with this concoction.
