Guest Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Dose anyone know how to make glup i think that is how you spell it.
Guest Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Not sure what you mean, is it like slime ? There is a big topic on slime somewhere that may help!!!
Guest Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Hi Maisy You can find the discussion about slime here. Don't know if it is the same thing as glup though!
AnonyMouse_79 Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Hi, I think you may mean gloop, which I think is the same as ooblick? Ooblick is a mix of cornflour and water, you add the water and colouring to the cornflour until it is runny. (like icing). You can pull and push this mixture, sometimes it is runny, sometimes it is hard! hope this helps. Meanwhile I'll continue to think on it.
AnonyMouse_64 Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Ooblick Susan?? Never heard it called that! Incidently I sometimes add different essences to it to scent it and the children love it with glitter or sequins in too.
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I used to use something I called gloop, INCREDIBLY messy but glorious fun . It was sort of like a cake mixture ... - Will try to find the recipe And, no, I can't think why it has fallen out of favour with me - maybe the tidy-up factor? Sue
Guest Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Gloop has always meant cornflour and water to me, too!!! Wonderful stuff!!
Guest Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Hi someone told me it was cornflour and water. Had a go on monday and the children loved it. Thanks for all your help
Guest Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Another version of gloop is old fashioned flour and water made watery and with paint colours added. You can put it in washing up liquid bottles and then squirt it on paper in snakey patterns. I think it dries hard. I will try to find the recipe but its been a long time.........
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 Hi all! Have, after much searching, found what I think is the recipe I was on about earlier - 4 cups self-raising flour 1 cup sugar (any sort, but granulated is nice and grainy ) 1 cup salt 2 cups cold water Mix till it forms a dough. PLAY But, as I said before, it's really sticky and messy. Yum! In same collection of scraps I found an old note reminding me of cornflour gloop combined with cooked pasta (- a pre-waxed/greased tray means that patterns you make will keep their shape). Interesting for a try! I'd completely forgotten that one. Hmm, suppose it's possible to be in one job too long! Sue
