Gak..gloop....slime.....






Today we made gak......it starts off gooey and slimey and ends up like a super smooth playdough that can be cut up :) it's super easy to clean up too which I LOVE...and the kids ahve so much fun watching the liquids change when they are mixed together!

One word of warning - if you use yellow food colouring, the slime ends up looking like snot from someone with a very bad nasal infection :( Ewwwww! I forgot to take pictures of it when it had firmed up a bit - so I will do that tomorrow!!!! In these pictures it hasn't been kneaded much and is still icky slimey stuff...th ekids loved it and like I said, clean up is EASY!!!
