Flubber - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/3 cup water
    3 tablespoons borax, laundry booster (find next to the laundry detergent)
    2 cups water
    2 cups school glue (I use 4 4-oz bottles of Elmer's school glue)
    food coloring
Preparation
    Put the borax in 1/3 c of warm water and stir until dissolved. Then add several large squirts of food coloring and set aside.
    Pour the remaining 2 cups of water into a container and add the 2 cups of school glue. Stir until dissolved.
    Add the borax solution to the glue solution.
    Mix with your hands. Remove all jewelry! Do not use a spoon! This is really fun.
    It takes approximately 5 minutes for all of the water to be absorbed and for the mixture to reach the right consistency. Knead firmly to encourage suspension of the glue particles.
    Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It should last two weeks or more.
