Real Flubber

Westley said today, let's make real flubber. I agreed!
I will list the recipe we used and it worked perfectly.
The boys helped stir the ingredients together, which took just a couple minutes, and then we went outside to play with it. They patted, squished, smashed, poked, rolled, and bounced it.
Nice change of pace from play dough.

• food coloring (optional)
• 1 1/3 cups warm water
• 3 teaspoons borax  (on the laundry detergent aisle)
