Have you tried any of these do you have more to add?

Flubber

Flubber

Mixture 1

~ 1 1/2 cups very warm water

~ 2 cups Elmer’s glue (I’ve tired it with generic white school glue and it never works as well)

~ Food coloring

Combine in a small to medium bowl and stir with a clean spoon.

Mixture 2:

~ 3 teaspoons Borax (you can buy it on Amazon or at the grocery store)

~ 1 cup very warm water

Combine in a large bowl, stir until dissolved (or almost dissolved) with a clean spoon.

Pour mixture 1 into mixture 2. Because of the science behind this recipe, the borax combines with the PVA in the glue and makes a polymer. You could do nothing at this point and it would turn to flubber after a while. But what fun would that be? Your kids will want to stick their hands in immediately and start mixing. It will take about 10 minutes, but eventually all of the water will be absorbed, and you will have flubber

                               ~Moon Sand~

Materials:

8 cups of flour

1 cup of baby oil

Directions:

Combine the flour and baby oil in a large tray or container. I used a large bowl, but I would recommend something with a lid if you plan on storing it and reusing it.

The sand is really soft as you would imagine, and it packs really well so you can still make sandcastles with it.

How it worked for me:

My kids loved it! They begged me to make them an entire sandbox full. They played with this stuff for hours and hours. Well worth it! They built all kinds of things with it. Had no problems building, it held together pretty good.

Must Have Always on Hand for Kids

Shaving balloons

I have been looking for a new activity to do with the kids and came across this. 

 This is about as difficult as filling water balloons. One can of shaving cream fills from 15-18 balloons. And shaving cream is about $1, so not too bad.

The kids had so much and this is one will be repeating soon!

Puffy paint

My boyfriend was looking for things to keep his 6 year entertained. I was thinking back to my daycare days and remembered puffy paint. What a simplistic yet fun time. Kids loved this, they learned without even knowing it!

First you need shaving cream, and white school glue, and food coloring. 

In a bowl mix together equal parts of shaving cream and white school glue.  Then add watercolors or food coloring to color.  Stir all ingredients, adding more color if needed.

I would buy little plastic or paper plates to place the different colors on. All you do from here is hand your child(ren) construction paper and paint brushes if they want them and let their imagination go while. This is also a great project for them to use their fingers! 

After the picture is complete just lay it somewhere to dry. I usually allow it to dry over night before allowing my kids to touch it. Once the paint drys it will be puffy and also feel kinda velvety. 

I forgot to take pictures but will include them the next time we do this project.

We have had such fun adding scent and color to traditional puffy paint to make unique and fun works of art. The girls loved their gingerbread puffy paint from Christmas so much that I knew they would love concocting their very own pumpkin puffy paint.
