- What's up? You're here on the
Carl and Jinger family channel
and there is a huge mess
going on in the kitchen.
Jinger has got some sort of
a DIY experiment going on.
It's like a marshmallow that
just never really gets sticky.
- Ahh!
- Floof!
(laughter)
- Okay, this is the thing,
I came across this Floof in a bucket
at the toy store the other day
and I'm determined to figure out a DIY
to make it here at home and
I'm getting pretty close.
So, it is a little bit chalky,
but I think we're on to something.
- [Carl] So this is Floof.
It's kind of like if
you imagine kinetic sand
and Play-Doh and a fluffy cloud
made a baby, that's what Floof is.
That's exactly what it kind of feels like.
It is really fun though.
It's like a marshmallow that
just never really gets sticky.
I don't know, it's like foam, Floof.
- Almost like, but look it
pulls apart like kinetic sand.
- [Carl] Right.
- I don't know.
- [Carl] So the quest is, and the question
is is can you do this at home.
The problem is is that Floof in a bucket
is like $20 for one bucket.
There has to be an inexpensive,
do-it-yourself version of this
that we can make at home.
- I've got your back.
- And because this is the
Carl and Jinger channel
and everyday is a new day and
we're making an awesome one,
we're gonna make like a
huge bucket full of Floof.
- This is what I think is in the Floof.
We have corn starch, shaving
cream, and Elmer's glue.
- [Carl] This is the real Floof right here
that we got at the store and this
is the kind that Jinger
just hand made herself.
So the color's a little bit different,
but obviously we're using, like,
home made, guessing game stuff.
Like, we're trying to
guess the recipe here.
So it's not gonna be exactly the same,
but we're gonna get as close as we can.
- Let's just do it. Let's
just jump right into this.
- [Carl] Just jump right in, okay.
So we're going corn starch, first of all.
We don't have any measurements,
this is all just like a home
science experiment that we're doing.
- It's just fun when it's a little messy.
- [Carl] Yeah. And we're just gonna
dump it all in there and get right to it.
I'm gonna try not to get corn
starch in the camera lens.
How many boxes is that so far?
We've got like ...
- [Jinger] I think it's four boxes.
- [Carl] Four boxes.
We have a lot of corn starch in there.
I think that's plenty because we're gonna
need to use a lot of shaving cream.
Luckily when we did the fluffy slime,
we had a lot of this
shaving cream left over.
So we're making use of it today.
The fun thing about this Floof
is it's kind of like silly putty.
Like you can press it down on things
and lift it up and it will
totally take the same shape.
Look at that.
That says Floof.
You can make molds of all kinds of stuff,
like Gage's face.
Let's see.
Did it work?
- [Gage] It worked.
- [Carl] You can see your nose
and your lips right there.
What is this thing? What's going on?
- [Jinger] His eyes right there.
- [Gage] I look like an old grandpa.
- [Carl] That is funny.
So weird though, see it
just like pulls apart.
So it's a little bit sticky
and stringy like kinetic sand.
See that how it's just kind
of stretchy, but not really.
It's just Floof.
We've got the corn starch in
there, what's going in next?
- [Child] Glue. Clear Glue.
- [Carl] The clear Elmer's glue.
So technically you could
use colored glue, right?
- Sure, why not? We don't really know.
- [Carl] If you wanted to
make colored Floof, I guess.
- Now the fun part, shaving cream.
- [Carl] Whoo! You don't
want to do too much do you?
Ooh, that's a little bit much.
- [Jinger] Nope, it's good.
- [Carl] Oh gosh, we're
gonna ruin this recipe.
That's probably good. I'm
gonna say that's enough.
Okay, okay.
- That's enough, that's enough.
- [Carl] We're gonna end up with so much
we don't know what to do with it.
- [Jinger] Okay now we
just start stirring.
- [Carl] Oh wow.
- [Jinger] This is the
messiest, messiest stuff.
- [Carl] I know, look at the kitchen.
It's like a Floof bomb
went off in here, right.
That's just fun, right?
That's fun.
Just fold it over.
That's cool.
Looks like you're making pizza dough.
- [Jinger] See it kind
of like floofs together.
- [Carl] How many times
have we said the word Floof?
So here's the challenge guys,
you've got to watch this
video from the beginning
all the way to the end and count
how many times we say the word Floof.
And then comment the number down below.
How many times we say Floof,
counting when I say floof right now.
Floof, floof, floof, floof, floof.
- [Jinger] We need more shaving cream.
- [Carl] It just looks like flour.
Like cooking flour, baking flour.
- [Jinger] That's probably good.
- [Carl] That's probably good.
Gage, I'm gonna give you a challenge.
I want you to take this block of Floof
and see how close to perfectly round
like a ball you can make it.
As smooth as possible.
Ready, set, go.
- [Jinger] Yay!!!
This is the funnest
mess I've made all day.
- [Carl] I just kind of want to like ...
- [Jinger] Ahh!
- [Carl] (evil laugh)
It's going all the way up to your elbows.
You've gotten yourself
in a sticky situation.
That looks like it's coming
along nicely, Jinger.
- It's so close.
- [Carl] It's the right texture.
- [Jinger] Yes.
- [Carl] I think the recipe that they're
actually using is a little bit different,
but for doing it at home yourself,
this is really close.
- DIY's are all about ingredients that
are readily accessible.
So whatever they're using
for the actual Fluff,
is not something ...
- [Carl] It's Floof. Floof.
- Floof. This serious
feels like whipped cream
that you can hold in your hand.
- [Carl] Yeah.
- You know, the cornstarch
does stay on your hands,
but it's not like sticky.
- [Carl] I think you just need
to keep working it a little bit.
That orb is looking
pretty good there, Gage,
but I think you need to do the rest.
So you need to make it
like three times bigger.
I think it's about as
close as it's gonna get
so we're gonna dump it
out on the counter here,
and try to see how it compares.
Ours is a lot more crumbly, it looks like
and a little bit drier.
I don't think that the original
recipe has corn starch in it.
They must be using something different.
The original packaging says
that it contain glycerin
too so I think that's an
ingredient that we're missing.
You also never know if there's like
extra ingredients in the shaving cream
that are affecting the recipe negatively
that you aren't accounting for, right?
Gage, that is a really
good looking Floof sphere.
I think that compares pretty closely
- Yeah, while I was working it,
it's like flat on the bottom, but ...
- [Carl] It just, like, fell apart.
- It's as close as we can get.
- [Carl] So let's look
at the comparison here.
- I want to check, oh my gosh,
this is like, way lighter.
Well, you guys, this is
as good as we got it.
I think that it turned out really good
and this is a really fun, floofy play-doh,
slime, I don't even know.
And I think it turned out really good.
I'm happy with it.
I do want to try a couple of other recipes
if you guys liked this, and
you want us to try it more,
tell us down below in the comments.
I don't know, Gage, what do you think?
- I think this is a lot lighter,
but that one's, like, a
lot more fun to play with.
It's a lot more "roll the ball."
- [Carl] I think for the amount of money
that you're gonna save, you're
not gonna go wrong with this.
And kids are gonna have a ton of fun
playing with your home made Floof.
- You're gonna spend like $5
on this versus $20 on that.
- [Carl] And you can
get way more for your $5
than you would get on a
little bucket for $20.
If you guys really liked this video,
and want us to do more DIY
and trying to figure out
how to make stuff at home
so that you can save money,
let us know down in the comments.
I think this turned out really well
for just figuring it out as we went.
I think it's a success.
We've made a lot of fun stuff.
We've made kinetic sand, lots
of different types of slime,
and really cool things.
