Snow Day Survival 1: Gelatin and Flubber

It's Winter in New England and it looks like we're going to get a lot of snow... Being stuck inside with a newly turned 1 year old who doesn't sit still is even more exhausting than usual! So here is our snow day survival!

Gelatin is such a cool texture. It takes a little bit of time to set but we use the unflavored/unscented stuff and add some food coloring!
This was the first time the Bug got to play with gelatin and he loved it! He did try one bite but spit it out (unflavored gelatin has got to be gross!)

He is using a small scoop (from our formula containers) to explore. It was a great way to do some filling and dumping!

Flubber is another one we discovered thanks to this book and it has quickly become a favorite!

The Bug didn't cut this but he was trying!

This is another amazing recipe that is only in the book linked above but here is the Ultimate Guide to Slimes from Fun At Home With Kids (who wrote the book!)
