Recipe for GAK

Here's what  you need :

    2 cups white elmer's glue

    4 teaspoons borax (you can find this in the

       laundry detergent section of wal-mart It's in a green box.)

     1 1/3 cups warm water

Here's what you do:

1.  In a large bowl combine glue and 2 1/2 cups water

2.  In a separate bowl combine Borax and 1 1/3 cups water

3.  Add Borax water to glue water and mix.

Here is the trick when you put the two mixtures together just keep mixing and kneading it.  It doesn't look right at first, it is very runny but just keep mixing it and over time it will form a big ball of slimy dough.  I threw the first batch I ever made  away because it didn't look right.  I just needed to keep kneading it in the bowl and it would have worked. ( chalk it up for experience .)

                      GAK!

 

This is the favorite in our house.  Slimy play dough.

Made from Elmer's glue, water, borax and food coloring

for color.  It is hours and hours of fun.  It lasts about 3 months 

if you store it in Ziploc bags.

The kids love to squish this stuff in cups it makes a farting 

noise that makes them laugh so hard.  (Boy what they won't 

think of next!)
