Flubber

Hello, friends!

I am so, so, so, so, so excited about this post! Every weekend I try to put together some kind of fun sensory activity for us to do as a family. The boys have been absolutely loving Playdoh lately, so I wanted to branch off of that and make something similar but with a different look and feel. I found this recipe and knew I just had to try it out!

It took just a few minutes to make and it kept my kids busy and focused for over an hour (score!). And, I’m not going to lie, I was right there with them – this stuff is FUN!

BONUS: You can buy EVERYTHING you need right on Amazon and have it delivered to your door by this weekend! Plus, liquid starch was a little hard for me to find, so it was really easy to just have it delivered.

Supply List

  • Glue: Elmers Washable School Glue (6 pack)
  • Glitter: Glitter Jar OR Glitter Jar – these are really big jars, perfect for multipule uses!
  • Liquid Starch: Purex Sta-Flo Liquid Starch
  • Warm Water
  • Animals (optional): Toob Animals

Flubber

Steps

  1. Squeeze two bottles of Elmers School Glue into a large bowl.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of warm water and stir.
  3. Add desired amount of glitter into the bowl (we used around 2 tbs), mix
  4. Slowly add in 1/2 cup of your liquid starch. *Tip do not dump in all at once, be sure to add little bits at a time while continuously mixing with either your hands or a wooden spoon.

It is seriously so much fun to make and play with! I tried spicing it up a bit and created another batch and added in 4-5 drops of pink food coloring, here is the result –

Fun, right? Be sure to try this with your kiddos if you’re looking for a fun sensory activity, I guarantee they’ll love it! What I love about this activity is that there is so much room for customization – I think the next batch we make will mirror the old school green slime! 

Have YOU made homemade Flubber?

Do you think it’s something your kids would love?

    I love the pink flubber! And the glitter really adds a nice sparkle. I’ve never made flubber before and I know the kids would play with this for hours.

    What a fun idea to make flubber with kids, seems easy enough. I don’t have my own kids but I may make this just because it’s such a neat idea to do! I am betting it feels cool!

    I can’t say that we’ve made any flubber at home. My daughter has however made some at summer camp several times. She loved it, she would like it even more if it was pink.

    This is a cool idea. Easy to make and I am sure the kids would enjoy making it and playing with it as well. I am sharing this with my friend who owns a pre-school. This flubber would be great for sensory learning for her little students.

✨Monday Energy✨ Today my therapist and I were ✨Monday Energy✨

Today my therapist and I were talking about the power you have to see your glass as either half full or half empty.

I’m someone with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness - and balancing those while keeping a “half glass full” mentality can be hard. But it’s so necessary.

Here are some morning affirmations I plan on saying every day to keep a positive mindset, wanted to share them in case you want to try it, too!

✨I send love to every part of my body.

✨I am excited to wake up each morning to live this beautiful life I am creating.

✨Today i align myself with freedom, growth, and joy.

✨I give myself permission to go after what I want.

✨I am determined and will never give up.
