GLOP!
What kid doesn't like gross stuff? Glop appeals to the kid in all of us.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon Borax (like 20 mule team brand in the laundry aisle)
1 1/4 cup water - Divided
1 cup White Glue
In a medium size bowl:
Mix 1/2 cup very warm water with the 1 teaspoon of Borax. Make sure it dissolves completely.
In a separate bowl or cup mix the remaining water and all of the glue. Mix well. If you want colored glop, add a couple drops of food coloring to this mix.
Slowly pour the glue mixture into the bowl with the Borax and water. Stir rapidly and constantly to make the glop. It will come together rapidly, so be prepared!
Allow to sit for a few minutes then enjoy! Store in a sealed container or baggie in the fridge to prolong the life of the Glop.
