Making a Mess

We had a purpose for our mess yesterday-to make Swamp Gunk.



I used to make this at least every 6 months with my eldest son.
I buy the white glue at back to school time for 10 cents a bottle so it costs next to nothing to amaze your kids. Try it, it's not as messy as the name suggests.

Solution A:
1 Cup water
1 Cup white glue
7 drops of food coloring

Solution B:
1-1/3 Cup warm water
4 tsp. borax laundry booster

How to mix it:
1. Mix ingredients in Solution A together in a medium bowl.
2. In a second bowl mix the ingredients in Solution B together until the borax is completely dissolved.
3. Slowly pour Solution A into Solution B. DO NOT MIX!
4. Roll Solution A around in Solution B 4 to 5 times.
5. Lift Solution A out of Solution B and knead for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Store in an airtight container when finished playing with it.
