Homemade GAK!!! Busy Bag Activity

Who doesn't remember playing with GAK as a kid!!! 

 

Found an easy recipe, of course on Pinterest, and had a blast on our rainy day creating a fun activity. 

Little man had the job of squeezing the glue into the bowl. He loves to make a mess and it was great to have permission to do so. 

He chose the colors. We made the first batch green. It was definitely a Pinterest Fail. We got it the second time!!! It's AWESOME!!!!

The Pinterest fail was just too dry I used a bit too much Borax. 

He was in charge of mixing or stirring the color into the glue. 


It took a few minutes to mix in all the water and it was soooooo much fun massaging the mixture. 


He walked around with his container of GAK for the next ten minutes so proud of his mix and showing daddy and his sister how he made it. 


Keep it in an air tight container for use later. 

A fantastic idea for a busy bag is to make a batch and split it into smaller portions. Put the portions in baby food jars to pass out at your next exchange.
