T has a Ninja turtle themed party next month. Today we made the ooze as favours for the kids from his class. Here's the recipe:
- PVA glue- either two small 4 oz bottles, or one large 7 oz
- 1 Teaspoon of Borax - found in the laundry section ( I got my bag off trade me)- Green Food Coloring
- 1/2 Cup Warm Water
- Large Mixing Bowl and Spoon
- Air-tight Container
- Labels
1. Squeeze the glue bottles into the large mixing bowl.
2. Fill the empty glue bottles with water, swish it around, and pour into the bowl with the glue.
3. Stir well and add food coloring to create desired color. In our case, of course, that color is GREEN!
4. In a different container, spoon 1 tsp of borax into 1/2 cup warm water and stir. There will be some borax in the bottom of the water, that’s ok!
Step 5: SLOWLY start to add the water to the glue mixture-make sure none of the borax granules get into the mixture. Add
a little, mix with your hands, add a little, mix with your hands.
You’ll be surprised how quickly it starts to form, so don’t add a lot of
water all at once. Keep mixing with your hands until it isn’t sticky
anymore.
