Pushy Putty or Flubber
Procedure 1
Materials (Borax, white glue, water, 2 glass jars with lids, cup)Note: Borax can be found with laundry detergents in most grocery stores.
Pour 4 cups of water into a large glass jar. Add 1/4 cup Borax and stir until it is dissolved.
In the 2nd jar, mix 1 cup water and 1 cup white craft glue. Tighten the lid and shake well until mixed. If you want colored putty, add food coloring or paint to the water and glue mixture.
To make the putty, pour 1 cup of the Borax solution in a cup, add 1/4 of the glue solution. Stir it with your finger. The glue mixture suddenly thickens as soon as it comes in contact with the Borax solution. In fact, you may need to make sure there are glue bubbles in the center of the putty. Remove the putty from the solution and knead it to get the finished texture.
Pushy Putty can be used to make impressions from newspapers or color comics. Store in a sealed container or plastic bag.
What Should Happen
When the borax. glue and water mix, they form a putty-like substance. It will stretch, bounce, squish and drip.
