Slimed! Make it at home

Most kids love slime. It’s just a fact, like kids love ice cream and snow days.

So here’s a perfect opportunity to take their love for goo, and give them an opportunity to ‘science’ it themselves with a few basics you’ll probably already have at home.

Recipe for Homemade Slime

2 oz white glue (Elmer’s)

1 cup warm Water

Food coloring

1 tbsp Borax (found near laundry detergent in the store)

3 tbsp warm Water

• Mix 2 ounces of white glue with 3 tbsp of water and six drops of desired food color.
• In a separate bowl, mix 1 tbsp Borax with 1 cup of warm water.
• Slowly add 1 tbsp of the Borax mixture to the glue mixture. Watch what happens…. Add another tbsp of the Borax mixture, and stir well. Let sit for about a minute.
• Store in plastic bag or sealed container.
