As soon as my girls and I found out about the new Disney Descendants movie we added it to our calendar to make sure that we didn’t miss the movie premiere! I’m so glad we did because it inspired this Disney Descendants Potion Making Recipe!
Disney Descendants Potion Recipe
Since that night I think we have watched Descendants at least 20 times. Well, more like 2 thousand times! I must admit that I was already planning on a fun craft for the girls to create after they watched the movie. Mal and Evie make the perfect inspirational characters for this fun kids potion recipe! Not only are they creating something inspired by some of their favorite characters, but tied in with a little bit of science fun.

Ingredients Needed For Descendants Potion Recipe
This recipe is basically a fun Flubber kids friendly recipe.
- 3/4 cups of cold water
- 1 cup of Elmer’s glue (the white kind)
- Food coloring to match the Descendants characters
- 1/2 cup of hot water
- 1 teaspoon of borax
- 2 bowls
- spoon or hands
How To Make Flubber Inspired By Disney Descendants
- In your first bowl go ahead and mix together your cold water, Elmer’s glue, and the food coloring. Let it sit while you do the next step.
- Heat up your 1/2 cup of water in the microwave for about a minute. You want it hot not boiling. Go ahead and pour the hot water into your second bowl, along with your 1 teaspoon of borax. Let it sit until the borax is completely dissolved in the water.
- You are going to now slowly pour your glue dyed mixture into the bowl that has the borax. Using a spoon or hand go ahead and mix everything together. I personally prefer using my hands because I can feel when the mixture is done.
- Dispose of left over liquid. You should only need to use it if your potion is still way too sticky to play with. Otherwise, you don’t need it anymore.
Tip: If you want it slimy and a bit sticky leave it in for about 30-40 seconds, but no more. It will make your Flubber mixture too hard and not stretchy.
My girls have had so much fun watching, dancing, and singing along with the movie Descendants that at this point they have pretty much memorized all the songs! The music is so up beat and modern that I wouldn’t be surprised if I hear it at this year’s dance recitals! It really is that good! I mean come on – when you have amazing producers like Kenny Ortega you really can’t expect any less!

You wrote “Only leave it in for about 30-40 seconds, but no more. It will make your Flubber mixture too hard and not stretchy.” What should only be left in for 30-40 sec? What is the “it”? I don’t want my flubber mixture to be too hard and not stretchy. Thanks!
Hi Giulie! Only leave the flubber in the liquid for 30-40 seconds. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello, I am not sure I understand either. It sounded like you mixed everything together so what is the liquid that you are referencing?
Thanks so much!
Hi Tara, once you mix everything together you will have liquid left over because it’s not going to be completely absorbed. So, the liquid just needs to be disposed of, you don’t need it unless the consistency is still sticky 🙂 Hope that helps! Have a great week!
Hello,
I was confused as well.
It sounded like you combined and mixed everything so what is the liquid you are referencing?
Where did you get those cute containers for the flubber?
Hi! I’ve had these forever, most likely Target or JoAnn’s Craft store. 🙂
