How to Make Goop Without Borax or Cornstarch

Goo --- which people typically create for a science project or simply for fun --- is most commonly made using cornstarch or borax. If you don't have these ingredients, you can use other materials that are sure to be in your kitchen. Creating a goo for fun is an ideal activity for any rainy day when the kids are cooped up in the house. What's more, goo ingredients are inexpensive, making it an economical craft idea.

Things You'll Need

• Newspaper
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups
• Mixing spoon

Instructions

1. Cover the crafting area with newspaper to keep the surface from getting dirty or stained while making goo. Gather all the ingredients and place them nearby for easy accessibility.

2. Mix one cup each of table salt, flour and water in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are moistened and combined to create goo.

3. Add a few drops of food coloring of your choice and stir thoroughly. If you want to create more than one color of goo, make additional batches of the material.
