How do you make a fake tar-pit?

Answer 1

you mix borax water and guar gum throughly and add blak dye. i have absolutely no IDEA where to buy guar gum...... sorry. but u r probably intrested in tar. mee 2. another crafty idea:buy a plastic sabertooth and put it in along with a plastic mammoth. make a scene!

If you want the stickiness, but not the smell, and need it for only a short time, try maple syrup and devil's food cake mix. Don't add too much syrup. It's as sticky and thick as the original, but washes off with water. But watch out for ants if you use it outside.
