Blue Goo

That is what it is referred to in our house.

It's a horrible mixture that makes my skin crawl when I touch it and pick it up, but my son couldn't go without it! We have played with it at StrongStart, friends houses, etc. but only have lately dared to bring it into our own house.

Let me tell you, when your son wakes up in the morning, smiles at you and the first words out of his mouth are 'blue goo' you know you've hit on something good!

(Not to mention on a two ferry boat ride to the island, a ziploc bag of this created tonnes of entertainment, where I didn't have to perform!)

Now to get busy making the stuff!

Solution A

1 cup water

1 cup white glue

2TBSP. liquid tempera paint or 7-10 drops food colouring

Solution B

1 1/3 cups warm water

4tsp. Borax laundry booster

1. Mix ingredients in Solution A together in a medium bowl.

2. In a second medium 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 4-5 times.

5. Lift Solution A out of Solution B and knead for 2-3 minutes.

6. Store in an airtight container or plastic zip bag.

Forewarned, this stuff spreads out if left to it's own devices, so put away as soon as you are done. Also comes off fabric easily if removed fairly quickly, otherwise you are cleaning hardened glue off of everything!
