Cooking up flubber

Don't even think about cooking without this one helping out. If I say the word cook or even look at a mixing bowl she is on her way up to the counter. I think this time we were actually making flubber. She doesn't care if she can eat it or not, in her words she's happy if she can "dump" and "stir".

Jack with the latest batch of pink flubber.
Here's a recipe for anyone wanting to try it. It's rubbery and a fun twist when you get tired of play-doh.

Solution A:
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 cups Elmers glue
Food coloring
Solution B
4 tsp. Borax (find it in the laundry detergent section)
1 1/3 cups warm water

Mix Solution A in one bowl, mix solution B in another bowl. Dissolve well. Then pour solution A into B, DO NOT MIX OR STIR. Just lift flubber out. Store in ziplocs. If you half the recipe, you only need to half the solution A and it will work the same.
