Answer 1

InstructionsThings You'll Need:

• Warm water
• 20 Mule Team Borax

• Glitter (optional)

1. 1

   Measure out 1 and 1/3 cups of warm water into a small container.

3. 3

   Measure out 1 and ½ cups of warm water. Add 2 cups of Elmer's White Glue. You can get gallon size containers of glue through online school supply websites or at teacher supply stores.

4. 4

   Add a small amount of poster paint of your choice to this mixture and mix well until it is the color you want it to be. Don't add too much or it will come off on your hands as you play with the flubber.

5. 5

   Add glitter to your flubber if you desire and mix well.

6. 6

   Add the Borax mixture to the glue mixture. Mix it well with your hands. Once you've thoroughly mixed it up, you are done and ready to play with your flubber.

Answer 2

Instead of Metamucil, you can use psyllium husk powder as a substitute to make flubber. Psyllium husk powder contains similar ingredients to Metamucil and can provide the same binding and thickening effects needed for the flubber recipe. Just be sure to check the ratio needed for substitution based on the specific recipe you are using.
