Floam

What you will need

2 tsp of borax

½ cup of warm water & ¼ cup of warm water divided

2 oz of white school glue

1 and 1/3 cups of polystyrene beads.

Optional: food coloring or liquid watercolors if color is desired

Instructions

In a bowl combine 2 teaspoons of borax with ½ cup of very warm water.

Mix until borax is dissolved.

In a separate bowl combine ¼ cup of white school glue with ¼ cup of water. Add several drops of food coloring or liquid watercolors if color is desired.

Once the ingredients of both bowls are mixed pour the glue mixture into a zip seal bag. Add the polystyrene beads and then add the borax and water mixture and seal the bag.

Once sealed mix the ingredients of the bag well until the floam is formed.

You can use more or less borax and water mixture to create different floam consistencies.
