One of our favorite things to do while we're at home with the kids is to make gak. Now, this isn't your normal every day gak. It's Bollywood Gak! Which means bright colors and glitter!Our kids love it because they can cut it up, mold it into fun shapes, let it run through their fingers, and put it all back together.

Bollywood Gak Recipe:

1 4 ounce Bottle of Glue1 tsp Borax1 cup of Warm WaterFood ColoringGlitter (optional)Two BowlsThe most important thing you need in order to make Bollywood Gak is a little helper!In one of your bowls, mix the warm water and borax. In a separate bowl, mix your glue and food coloring. If you want your Bollywood Gak to be bright you can use neon food coloring. Otherwise you'll end up needing to use an entire tube of food coloring.Add a spoon full of warm water to your glue mixture and mix well. If you're going to add glitter, now is the time to do so.

Pour your glue mixture into your warm water. This is where your little helper comes in. It's extremely important, for the sake of your Bollywood Gak, to have your little helper mix it all together.Crucial.The longer you leave your Bollywood Gak in the water mixture, the more firm it will become. You can take it out when it is firm enough to play with.Now, it's time for your little helper to dig in and have fun!If it starts to get a little too thin, you can put it back into the water mixture to firm it back up.
