All right, ladies, you ready to do a fun project?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
OK, I want to make some homemade silly goo
for your new play area.
And I know that you love playing with slimy, gooey stuff.
So how does that sound? - Good.
Good.
LAILA: The ingredients that we're
going to need to make our silly goo
are glue, water, baking soda, shaving cream,
contact solution, food coloring, and glitter.
All right, you guys ready to get started?
- Yeah. - Yes.
So we need 2/3 cup of this glue.
So girls, what exactly do you do with silly goo?
Stretch it.
Play with it. - Stretch it.
Play with it.
Yeah, you know what I used to do with it when I was little?
I used to like to try to throw it up against the wall.
Have you ever done that?
We actually once threw it up on the ceiling.
But then it came down because it wasn't that sticky.
LAILA: OK, so our next ingredient is water, 1/4 cup.
And then our next ingredient is going to be the baking soda.
So we only need 1/2 of a teaspoon.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So let's mix this up a bit.
OK.
LAILA: So now, we're going to add our shaving cream.
And we need 2 and 1/2 cups.
There's 1 cup.
They don't even tell you how.
You can use your hand to get it out.
MOTHER: There we go.
LAILA: Yes.
[INAUDIBLE]
LAILA: You want to start mixing?
MOTHER: Very fluffy.
LAILA: Looks good, ladies.
OK, so now, our next ingredient is going to be a tablespoon
of the contact solution.
And then we're going to knead this for about five minutes,
OK?
CHILD: OK.
LAILA: Now, we can use our hands for this.
MOTHER: Awesome.
Ooh, this is just so weird.
Ah.
[LAUGHTER]
Now it's starting to get gooey.
Now we got some happy girls.
This feels weird but really funny.
[LAUGHTER]
It kind of feels like you're touching the clouds.
Yeah, but gooey clouds.
Yeah, I se you're really getting in there, girl.
Good. I like that.
I don't want them to be scared of getting messy.
So really, since they were babies,
they've been doing art on our front deck, art on the grass.
I think it's super important for kids to grow up with that.
Especially when you're having fun.
You let us know when it's at the perfect consistency you like.
You tell us.
I like that.
Except it's really sticky.
LAILA: Once we get this to the consistency
that you approve of--
We're going to put the glitter and the color?
Yes.
Right.
It's so fluffy.
This is good, right?
Yeah.
LAILA: That's good?
Let's add some color.
Hmm, I'm going to start with blue.
(SINGING) We are, we're just looking for the fun.
CHILD: Put a lot.
(SINGING) We are.
We're the children of the sun.
MOTHER: So much fun.
(SINGING) We are.
We're just looking--
No idea how I'm going to mix this in.
So good.
That looks great.
I'm going to open up some glitter.
You're going to be able to see it more.
CHILD: Ooh, that's so cool.
MOTHER: Isn't that pretty?
It might look nice mixing them both.
Oh, yeah.
We got rose gold and regular gold.
MOTHER: Pretty.
Ah.
This is so cool.
So is this a good consistency?
Yeah, that's OK.
The ocean with sparkles?
Yes, I like that.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, so I have got my goo in jars.
Let's start putting yours in.
All right.
CHILD: I want to see first if mine fits.
LAILA: Uh-oh, um.
You gonna shove it all in that one, huh?
I'm not.
Oh, OK.
All right, I'm going to start writing
the names on my silly goo.
Just call it whatever you want.
I'm going to name this one Lime Sky.
Ooh.
- Oh. - All right?
I like it.
OK, mine will be called Galaxy.
Strawberry.
The Unicorn Sparkles.
LAILA: We made a nice mess here, but it was all worth it.
Did you enjoy that?
Yes.
