I was on last week and found the cutest Halloween treat. It was a little canister of goo made form borax & elmer's glue. It was wrapped witha strip of paper punched with Martha Stewart's Drippy Goo punch and I think it was in a little holder of some sort. Well I searched all over & finally found a store that still had the dirppy goo punch in stock, but I never save the project in my favorites! I have searched the gallery for 4 hours and still can't find it! If anybody has this saved in their favoriate can you please post to this thread or send me a PM and save my sanity?
We have "Mad Scientist" day on Halloween with my science classes. When we make this we add green food coloring and make "snot" and fake poo out of cocoa powder and some other goodies. I know, it is gross, but the kids love it. Plus the "snot" is a polymer!
Do you think this project is to hard for kindergarteners? I am in charge of the Halloween activity and there are 20 kids. I love the thought of it. Just not sure if it is age appropriate?

You could let them come back in small groups to make it. Have all the materials already measured out and let them take turns pouring in ingredients. You just have to make sure they don't eat it!
I've been making this for years with kids; to be honest, if I were going to make it with 5-year-olds, I would only allow a few at a time to help. We usually add food coloring (sorry, didn't study the posted directions); that's where I'd let kindergartners participate. I'd have it mixed up and drained and just let them get the excitement of adding/mixing the color. That's the final step, then they could just play.
I'm sure this was covered, but to avoid angry parents, remind everyone this does stain fabric (clothing, upholstery, etc.)

I used to work in an after school program and did this with kindergarteners and first graders. Small groups are the key! Have fun.

That would be my luck. ;)
Thanks for the tips. I think I am going to give it a try. I will run it by the teacher. I hope she says yes. I want to make it for me.
I have made this with all ages of elementary school kids as part of an after school science class. The flubber is made by a chemical reaction, which helps kids learn to love chemistry and thus science! (Tell them that baking is also chemistry!)
I love the idea of adding glitter! I did use the clear (greenish?) glue once as I couldn't find enough white glue that I needed for 100 kids and it worked, too!
