FLOAM

INGREDIANTS:

2-Tsp. Borax (available in laundry aisle at your grocery store)
½-Cup Water (Tap water is fine)
¼-Cup White Glue (available in Craft/Department/Discount Stores)
¼-Cup Water (Tap water is fine)
1-Zip Lock Bag (1 qt. Bag is best)
Food Coloring (Optional- but kids like colors)
Styrofoam Beads (about 2 - bathroom 3 oz. cups full for above)

MIXING DIRECTIONS -

1. Dissolve 2-Tsp. Borax Completely in ½-cup (4 oz.) water.

2. In a separate bowl mix ¼-cup (2 oz.) white glue and ¼-cup (2 oz.)
water. Add food coloring of your choice to this solution.

3. Pour the glue solution into a zip lock bag. Then add 1-Tbs. of the
Borax/water solution to the glue solution. At this point you will
think that this stuff will never come out of this bag.

4. Add Styrofoam Beads to the mixture to make "Floam".

5. Seal bag and knead by hand until thoroughly mixed. Let stand about
15 minutes, and then knead by hand again. Take out of bag when the
gel ("Floam") separates easily from the inside bag walls. It will
have the consistency of dough.

When not in use store in sealed plastic bag to prevent evaporation.
