Great Gobs of Goo Recipe

Ingredients:
8 ounces of non-toxic white glue
Non-toxic acrylic paint
Water
Borax laundry detergent
Airtight container

1. Combine the glue, 4-5 tablespoons of acrylic paint, and 3/4 cup of water.
2. In a separate bowl mix together 1 tablespoon borax and 1/4 cup of water.
3. Pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture and stir until a blobforms. Don't worry if the blob looks a little stringy; it will smooth out on its own.
4. Remove the blob from the mixture, press it into a ball, and placeit in the container.
5. Make another batch of the borax and water and pour it into theremaining glue mixture, forming another blob.
6. repeat this process until all of the glue mixture is gone.

This stuff is for playing with, not eating!!!!!!
