This being the unofficial last weekend of summer, and the local weatherman predicting a cold front approaching by tomorrow, we decided to seize one last opportunity for some fun with bubbles. We've played with bubbles quite a bit over the summer. Now, we were ready for something better, something stronger, or maybe just something new.

We combined about 1/8 of a cup of gel glue, with a drop of red food coloring.

Then, we added in about 1/8 of a cup of liquid starch (again, mine was a liquid spray starch, so I don't know if that makes a difference).

After leaving the mixture to sit for five minutes, we mixed it until it was solid enough to pick up in our hands.

Then, we rolled and kneaded it, until it was somewhat like a sticky rubber ball.

The kids applied glops of the goo to the end of straws, and blew it into bubbles.

We were, however, going for bubble, not gross out, fun, and so we proceeded to our next recipe.
This time, we dissolved one packet of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Then we added 1/2 cup of dish soap, and three cups of cold water, stirring gently to mix.

It's great to be a homeschooler.
