Frozen Silly Putty

Today the girls needed some kind of activity. We have been in the house a lot lately. Because of the new baby we haven't even gotten in the car to take A to school. I had found a blog that talked about making Frozen silly putty (http://pagingfunmums.com/2014/06/13/frozen-silly-putty/). I decided to try it since we had all the ingredients.

The girls had a ton of fun making it and the science was cool!

Ingredients
1 147 mL bottle clear Elmer's glue
147 MLS water
blue food coloring
blue glitter
1/2 tsp. borax
1/2 cup hot water

Directions
1. Pour glue into a bowl
2. Add equal amount of water to glue and stir well.
3. Add a few drops of food coloring and stir well.
4. Add glitter and stir well.
5. In a separate cup add the borax to the 1/2 cup hot water.
6. Now add the borax water to the glue mixture and watch the science happen.

We had so much fun making stuff. I think next time we will add less borax as it was to viscous. They didn't want to quit playing with it. We made a huge mess and enjoyed every moment.

And this is what D thought of it all:

I hope your kids enjoy this as much as mine did.
