When I was younger I was always "experimenting" with anything I could get my hands on, I loved to mix together random things and see what happened, I even started the microwave on fire because I was trying to make rainbow crayons by melting them together in a Styrofoam cup. I think because of this my mom and dad bought me a book with all sorts of homemade experiments. In this book there was a recipe for Gak which consisted of Elmer's glue, liquid starch and food coloring, I loved making Gak it was easy and fun and I made it often.
Reed LOVES to be outside and we are always trying to think of new activities we can do outside so the other afternoon we ran to Wal Mart and got the supplies to make Gak. We got home and got to mixing, he loved it and at first he was a little cautious of the stick blob but it didn't take long for him to dive right into it.
Also as you can see in the background of these pictures their are spilled dried beans everywhere, that is another outdoor activity we do as well. We have a container full of dried beans for him to scoop, dig and dump in.
Side Note: if you are going to make Gak make sure to use Elmer's glue, I guess the off brand of glue doesn't work.
