Flubber

Two weeks ago, during Screen Free Week, I was going to lose.my.mind when the weather decided at the end of the week to downpour so we couldn't play out.  

Elmer's Glue & Borax came to the rescue.

Add a little warm water and some food coloring,

and FLUBBER is born!

Tricks like this (making Flubber or Play Doh) are what stay-at-home moms do to maintain sanity on long days!  This summer I will be stocking up on plenty of last minute "pull out of my hat" activities for afternoons just like this next year!
