Green Gack
Elmer's glue
Borax Detergent
green paint
small cups
popsicle stick
squeeze bottle
First you need to made a borax solution. A squeeze bottle works the best.
Pour in Borax detergent (about 1/2 inch covering the bottom of a 16oz. bottle -- will make 100 gacks). Add water to the rest of bottle, shake well. Take Elmer's glue, fill each child's cup about 1/4.
Then add paint have children stir the solution. Next add the Borax Solution (a good squirt into each cup) H
ave children stir their gack until there is no more liquid left. THIS DOES TAKE SOME PRACTICE (try it first w/o the kids)
Hint: if the gack is still watery stir quickly and if that doesn't help add more glue.

I'm a little groundhog,
Furry and brown.

I'm curled up
As cozy as can be.
When it's spring,
Please wake up me!
