How To Make Crazy Putty!

What you'll need:

• 2 containers (1 smaller than the other, preferably a film canister)
• Water
• Food colouring
• PVA glue (a type of white glue also known as Elmer's glue)
• Borax solution (ratio of about 1 Tbsp of borax to a cup of water) (You can buy Borax at Bunnings Warehouse)

Instructions:

1. Fill the bottom of the larger container with PVA glue.
2. Add a few squirts of water and stir.
3. Add 2 or 3 drops of food colouring and stir.
4. Add a squirt of borax (possibly a bit more depending on how much PVA glue you used).
5. Stir the mixture up and put it into the smaller container. By now the mixture should be joining together, acting like putty, crazy putty!

Fun With Polymers.
