Gak

Looking for a fun project to do indoors while it's 100+ degrees outside?  Oh, it isn't 100+ degrees outside where you are?  Well, lucky you.  But here, sometimes even playing in the water isn't worth hanging out outside for, so we came up with something fun to do when our cousins were over playing: gak! 

Here's a link to the recipe and directions.  It's pretty fun to play with on it's own, but our suggestions for a fun time: a pack of army men and/or plastic bugs or animals from the dollar store and some cookie cutters.  The kids played with this for a very long time, and when they were done, we put it into the fridge in Ziploc bags and saved it for the next day.
