Make yucky concoctions
Have to do the dishes? Combine all the weird bits that are left over in a glass. How yucky can you make it? What about those bits of mashed potato? Coffee? Milk? Bacon fat? Stir it up! Ewwww!

Ooey Gooey Recipes For Fun
-
Glop
Materials needed:
Milk 125 mL (½ cup)
Vinegar (60 mL (¼ cup)
Measuring cup
Coffee filter or paper towel.
Warm up milk in the microwave (just to room temperature). Stir in vinegar. Bubbles and small lumps will start to form. Strain the liquid by pouring it through a paper coffee filter or a piece of paper towel. What is left in the filter is your glop. How does it feel?
-
Flubber
Materials needed:
Borax 10 mL (2 tsp)
Warm water (1 cup)
White glue
Container for mixing
Add Borax to warm water. Add white glue. Stir really well. Let it sit for a minute and then mix it again, using your hands. Make sure you squeeze the glue gobs really well, otherwise you will end up with sticky gluey gobs in your flubber.
The glue turns into Flubber, so the more glue you add, the more Flubber. If you want a Flubber ball, form it when you take the Flubber out of the water. As the Flubber dries out, it becomes more firm and harder to shape.

Playdough
You will need help from an adult and these ingredients:
Flour 500 mL (2 cups)
Water 500 mL (2 cups)
Salt 250 mL (1 cup)
Cooking oil 30 mL (2 tbsp)
Cream of tartar 60 mL (4 tbsp)
Food colouring (if you want to make different coloured Playdough)
Pot
Combine the above ingredients in a pot and cook on the stove over medium heat until the dough starts to leave the side of the pot. Cook for a few minutes more. Let it cool. Once cool, knead the playdough until it is smooth. It is now ready.
HINT: After playing with it, store it in a sealed bag in the fridge and it will last a long time.
- Volcano
You will need:
250mL (1 cup) Vinegar
60 mL (4 tbsp) Baking Soda
Red food colouring--about 4 drops(Optional)
Dish Detergent--about 6 drops
A jar or bottle (you will build your volcano in here. If you want to make a volcano out of clay or paper mache, you can do that instead.)
a stir stick (a long straw works)
In your jar or bottle dump in your baking soda, food colouring if you are using it, and dish detergent. Pour in the vinegar and give it a slight stir. You should get a bubbly eruption!
