"
I'm bored." If that sounds all too familiar, consider a fun way to keep the kids busy: an easy craft project to make goop. Invest less than two bucks and five minutes of your time, and the kids will be singing your praises. So grab the supplies and entertain them with homemade goop. This slick, slimy putty will entertain folks aged 5 to 40.
Instructions
1. Assemble the ingredients in your kitchen.
2. Pour the cornstarch into the mixing bowl. Have the kids sift with their fingers. (Although this is an easy craft activity, keep napkins or a towel close by in case of spills.)
3. Pour the glue into the bowl. Mix well.
4. Mix water, food coloring and borax in a separate bowl. Mix until dissolved. If the food coloring stains fingers, use a little vinegar to remove it.
5. Pour the two mixtures together. Stir for three minutes, even after you see the homemade goop forming. This is to make sure it's mixed all the way through. Let the kids help with this part.
