How to Make Flubber

This is a wonderful craft project that you can do with your child (I would say 6 year old onwards). This is not only a craft but also a fun science project. Moms can even make it and use it to release stress – so, it’s actually multi-purpose. The materials needed can be bought at your local grocery store. Hey, you may even already have it in your kitchen pantry. Take a look and gather your materials. Round up the kids and start making some flubber!

You will need:
Elmers Glue
Borax
Water
Food Coloring
Bowls and something to mix with

Fun Craft Project for Boys

Here is a fun project that you can do with little boy (or girl I guess). This is a clay project where the instructor walks us though how to make a clay dinosaur. I guess it would be fun if you had some pictures you can base your clay project on or if not … using your imagination will work too. Try this project out with your little ones and watch them get excited as their dinosaur creations come to life.
