GAK

Remember GAK from when you were little and how your mom refused to buy the stuff for you?? Well, you can now make it from home! Just don't let your kids eat it - Brenna loves this stuff, but she's convinced it's candy and I have to watch her like a hawk when she's playing with it.

AND just a side note - as of the 23rd, GUESS WHO"S 18 MONTHS OLD??? This means she can finally go to the nursery on Sunday!!!! We're really hoping she'll stay in there so we can go to our classes - they do have a bubble machine... we'll see.



Here's the recipe I found - I actually used a 4 oz. bottle of glue and just cut the recipe in half.

You'll need a brand new 8 ounce bottle of Elmer’s Glue (don't use any other brand - it HAS to be Elmer's or it won't work). Empty the entire bottle of glue into a mixing bowl. Fill the empty bottle with hot water and shake. Pour the glue-water mixture into the mixing bowl and use the spoon to mix well. Add the glue-water mixture to the glue in the mixing bowl. Go ahead… add a drop or two of food coloring.
Measure 1/2 cup of warm water into the plastic cup and add a teaspoon of Borax powder to the water. Stir the solution. This Borax solution is the secret linking agent that causes the Elmer’s Glue molecules to turn into slime.
While stirring the glue in the mixing bowl, slowly add a little of the Borax solution. Immediately you’ll feel the long strands of molecules starting to connect. It’s time to abandoned the spoon and use your hands to do the serious mixing. Keep adding the Borax solution to the glue mixture (don’t stop mixing) until you get a perfect batch of Elmer’s slime. When you’re finished playing with your Elmer’s slime, seal it up in a zipper-lock bag for safe keeping. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS EAT IT!!!!!
