* PLEASE supervise children while making/playing with this Celebration Gak mixture. This mixture is NOT edible!!!

If you are scrambling to find something to keep the kids busy New Year’s Eve – look no further! This Celebration Gak is super easy to pull together and is just plain ‘ole FUN. My son absolutely LOVED making it with me recently and of course – the end result too! It’s kinda like play dough, but has a different texture and even a little bounce to it.

It’s got the sparkle and shine for a fun, festive night AND it’s cheap. You probably already have the supplies hiding in your home right now, which makes it even better. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of your time – YOU too can pull it together. See your child’s face light up in excitement and more importantly – keep them busy throughout the night!

Supplies:

* 1 teaspoon Borax {found in Laundry Aisle}
* 1 cup warm water
* 1 Bottle of School Glue {clear or white}
* Glitter & Sequins
optional – food coloring to change up the color

Directions:

* Mix your 1 teaspoon of Borax with 1 cup of warm water. Set aside.

* Pour your glue into a large mixing bowl. Fill your empty glue bottle with water and pour the water into the bowl.

* Next pour in your Borax/water mixture and glitter/sequins {about a teaspoon of each.} Mix well until it starts to clump. Once you can’t stir it anymore, grab the mixture with your hands and knead it until smooth.

* While doing this, you may have excess water that won’t absorb into the gak mixture. That’s OK. Just dump the excess water and continue on.

* When done playing, store finished Celebration Gak in an air tight container.

This Celebration Gak recipe is really fun and like I mentioned – super easy! You can also change out the color of your glitter and/or add food coloring to fit your needs/holiday. I just thought gold & silver sequins were PERFECT for New Year’s Eve.

If you are looking for a few more ideas to keep the kids busy this upcoming holiday – stay tuned. I got some fun posts up my sleeve!
