Bought a TON of super glue and let the kids have at it!! Turned out great!!! Just make sure that you store it out of sight, out of reach, and out of mind from an, ohhh say, mischevious 5 year old!! Washes out of fabrics after it has dried, but of course it stains. We learned that the hard way after the gloop was missing and an empty container appeared!

Hah! We played with this a while back. And, I gotta admit, it is so much fun, even for the teacher. It's kind of like silly putty, but not as stretchy. The part you really have to pay attention to is SLOWLY pour the boraw in- if you pour a little too much, it's ruined. But otherwise, you've got a great sticky little goop that will amuse kids!
