GAK....its so fun

here is how you make it, we just love it
Title: Gak Recipe

Categories: Playdoh, Kids

Yield: 1 Servings

JEANNE LUPIEN (DNDG63B)

Solution A:

1 1/2 cups warm water

2 cups elmers white glue

Food coloring

Mix together until

--completely dissolved

Solution B:

4 teaspoons borax

1 1/3 cups warm water

Mix together until

--completely dissolved

Pour solution A into Solution B. Do not mix!

Lift Gak out and knead into shape.

Here are some tips: Borax can be found in the laundry detergent

section of a grocery store- such as "20 Mule Team"

If you are going to half the recipe... use only half of Solution A

and mix the whole amount of Solution B. The results will be the

same. This is important..This is the only way you can half the

recipe. Do not double the recipe and do not reuse Solution B (the

borax and water), use only Elmer's glue.(Copied from Jean Lockhart

who credits this from Lynn Daly over a year ago)

That sounds like fun.

I thought Borax was toxic...

I'm sure it's cool, though.
