Floam is a fun science & art project. If you don't know what it is, it is like silly putty with styrofoam beads mixed in. You can't exactly sculpt with it because the putty is not stiff enough, but it's very fun to play with.
Materials
3 cups styrofoam beads
1/2 cup school glue
4 tsp borax
1 cup water
Large bowl to mix ingredients together
Small bowl
Food coloring
Instructions
- Mix borax and water together in the small bowl.
- In the larger bowl, mix together the styrofoam beads, glue, and a few drops of food coloring.
- Stir in 6 TBSP of the borax/water mixture.
