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
Steps
- Squeeze two bottles of Elmers School Glue into a large bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup of warm water and stir.
- Add desired amount of glitter into the bowl (we used around 2 tbs), mix
- 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?
Love this post? Pin it for later below!
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.
love the creative use of such common items!! I don’t have kids, but could see my nieces loving this.
This looks like something we Love to do! I am always looking for a fun craft that is easy and doesn’t cost a lot of money. I can’t wait to try this.
This Is AWESOME I Love It The Kids Will Love Playing With It I Can’t Wait To Make For My Girls!!
I haven’t made this in ages! I forgot how fun this stuff is. I will definitely have to make it with my kids soon!
This is such a wonderful DIY project – wish I could have done it when I was younger! Thank you for sharing, and with all the cute photos too.
I am definitely making this this weekend with my kids. My daughters absolutely love making our own homemade sensory toys and this flubber sounds like the perfect thing to try!
This looks like such a fun craft! My kids would have loved doing something like this when they were little.
Oh my goodness, I would play with Flubber all day. Loved that stuff when I was a kid. Looks so easy to make too
OMG! This is so cool! I really want to go home to try to make some myself. I am one of those people who would just set there and play in it not even thinking about the kids. LOL
Oh this sounds like so much fun! I love the glitter. This would be such a great indoor activity!
I have never made this, it sounds super simple to make. I like the pink, I’d be trying other colors too.
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.
Ooooo we make this stuff all the time with glitter glue!!!! It’s so fun, even for adults.
This would be a great addition for family time. A fun and creative design play time with kiddos. Ca you buy this to any store any local store? This is also a great gift for niece and nephews.
This looks like so much fun! My boys would definitely like to play around with something like this.
