Goofy Putty


Supplies

  • Elmer's White Glue (Do NOT substitute)
  • 1 tb Borax
  • Food Colouring
  • 1 c Water
  • Empty plastic soda bottle with cap
  • Zipper-lock bag (quart size)

    How To Make It

    1. Making The Borax Water: Borax is a type of powder soap that is available in most grocery stores. Add 1 tablespoon Borax powder to 1 cup of Water. Stir until most of the powder dissolves. Store the Borax Water in a jar or bottle, and label the container "BORAX & WATER MIXTURE". One cup of Borax water will make many batches of Goofy Putty.
    2. Preparing The Glue: Measure 1 tablespoon of Elmer's Glue into a zipper-lock bag. Add 1 teaspoon of plain water to the bag and mix. The additional water makes the glue flow better. Add a drop of food colouring to spice it up.
    3. Making Goofy Putty: Add 1 tablespoon of Borax Water to the bag of watered-down glue. Seal the bag and squeeze for 2 minutes in order to thoroughly mix the liquids. Notice that the liquids are starting to form a putty-like substance. Remove the putty from the bag and continue to squeeze.
