Messy Play: Flubber!

Tiger requested for 'cooking' out of the blue

as he dug out his measuring spoons.

Since I just returned from the bookstore with a bottle of white glue,

the first thing I thought of was FLUBBER.

The main ingredients are white glue, warm water, food coloring and borax.

We used the recipe from here

Borax, oh borax....where art thou borax?

Did I get that right?

To find Borax in Malaysia, I had to turn to Google.

Lifesaver was this blog which taught me to say 

Peng sha (硼砂) which is Boric acid in Chinese.

So, I went to several Chinese Medicine shops and finally found some.

I lied and said I was making fishball. Peng Sha is used to make them bouncy.

People always give me weird looks when I say, "For my son to play"

 It stayed in the drawer for 1 year cause well, I was scared to use it.

What? No KKM sticker.

So, I tested it on the grass and my neighbour's cat to see if it was safe.

No laaaa. No cats died in the process.

So, here is Tiger in action.

Mixture A : Mix 2 cups of glue with 1.5 cups of warm water, then add food coloring.

Tiger always ask for green.

 ?????

I have proof. Later I show you.

  

Mixture B: 1 cup of warm water with 3 tsp of Borax

Mix A into B

No stirring  required. Veeery cool.

Play!

See the kiasi?

Testing, testing 123 again!

It bounced a little.

Tiger said it was geli 

Other stuff we made:

Blow up a balloon with baking soda and vinegar.

Make a mess with gold dust. Again with baking soda and vinegar.

The green dough at the bottom is home made.

*so proud*

When he was 1 year 5 months old, we played with green goop.

All green!
