Two year old wonder

For anyone who has an overly curious two year old... I am almost positive that I don't have the only one.
This is Maddox, M Dog, Teeto, Bean, or Mad Man. He loves to take things apart, and attempt to put them back together, although not always the way they were. He loves long walks, and playing in the mud. But unfortunatly the cold weather has made his favorite activities harder to do.
So with his help we have been making fun little activities for him to do, and this has been our latest success.
FLUBBER!!!
3/4 Cup Water
1 Cup White Glue
Food coloring of choice
Mix this in one bowl
1 1/2 Tsp Borax
1/2 Cup Water
Mix this in a second bowl
Now pour glue mixture into borax mixture and BAM! You get this goopy substance.
I just kind of kneaded it in the water until it came together.
Now the fun begins! I sat little Mad Man in his high chair and gave him the stuff and several bowls and even a fork.

He was unsure at first, but before we knew it he was having the time of his life!


He loved how it stuck to itself and the noises it made when he shoved it in a cup.


And suprisingly he had no interest in eating it which was good...
DO NOT EAT IT!
Some got on the carpet, and some got on him... But I had no problem picking it up off of stuff.
This was a great activity to stimulate his little mind. And it kept him busy for almost an hour!
