Flubber is a gooey substance on the hand, and flows like a cream if you treat it gently, but breaks apart if you put more force on it. Kids love to play with it, and it is relatively easy to make, it is a great favorite at science fairs. It is also a good time-waster for kids.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 cup white glue (like Elmer's)

Steps
-
Make a mixture of 3/4 Cup of the water and the glue (as well as a few drops of food coloring if you like)(any color).
