help with making creepy crawlers??

Question

I ran out of all the goop, soo i was wondering if there's any way to make homemade goop..?
any ideas?

Answer 1

They do sell refills for goop both in stores and online. If you want to just try making something youself, try this:

Here's a recipe to make gummi-type candies-you could substitute your creepy crawler molds for candy molds. Make sure to wash them real good first!!!!

1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 6oz package Jell-O or a Jello knockoff brand.
Measuring cup with pour spout - Use a glass one; plastic ones break eventually when exposed to boiling water
2 tsp Unflavored Gelatin - Knox brand or another
A medium to large sized bowl
Vegetable oil or Pam-type cooking spray
paper towels
Making the Gummies
Either spray no-stick cooking spray on the candy mold then whipe it off again with the paper towel, or add a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and whipe down the mold. Add Jello package and 2 tsp gelatin to bowl and mix together. Pour in 1 3/4 cups boiling water, and stir for about 2 minutes, until everything is definitely dissolved. Pour into the candy mold, and place it in the fridge. 30 minutes should be enough time for it to set if you're using a small gummy bear or jelly bean mold, but go for an hour to 2 hours if making larger shapes (like turtles). This makes a whole bunch of gummy bears - enough for three or four people. If you're making more than one color of gummy bear for a mix, expect to have gummy bears coming out your ears

Answer 2

I think that the gummy type worms and things that are made for fishing will melt the same way as the goop that comes with the kit, but not totally sure. Don't think there would be any harm in trying them out as long as you watch what's happening... the temp in the oven is fairly low to really be a problem with the plastic.

(the harder type of plastic like toy army men will also slump and melt, but don't know if that stuff would come out of the metal mold easily without some kind of release)
