Goo

This last week Kiah has stayed home sick from school for several days. When I picked her up from school on Tuesday her teacher said she asn't acting herself and seemed like she might be sick. So we drove home and I took her temurature and it was 103.7. I think most people wouldn't feel well at that tempurature. So we kept her home on Wednesday. She seemed to be feeling much better so I decided to try out a new fun recipe I have been wanting to play with.

GOO!


The kids played with it for hours. It was lots of fun. Kiah originally wanted to call it boogery, but Eli convinced her to call it goo.

1/2 cup white household glue
1/2 cup water
nontoxic poster paint

1/2 cup water
3/4 tsp borax

Combine first three ingredients and mix well. In a separate bowl, mix the water and borax. Slowly stir the borax solution into the glue mixture for instant goo!

Caution: keep the kids at a table covered with newspapers and don’t let this get on the floor or furniture–a few garbage bags on the floors are a good thing, just in case.

  1. We like goo here but haven't made it in awhile. I have never used the poster paint in it, we always use food coloring but I like how it looks with the paint. It is much less opague with the food coloring.
