Slime

The girls and I had fun making slime.

Here are the directions:

1. Empty an entire 8 ounce bottle of Elmer's glue into a mixing bowl. Fill the empty bottle with warm water, but the lid on then shake. Pour the water mixture into the mixing bowl and use a spoon to mix well.
2. Add a drop or two of food coloring.
3. Measure 1/2 cup of warm water into a plastic cup and add a teaspoon of Borax powder to the water. Stir the solution.
4. While stirring the glue in the mixing bowl, slowly add a little of the Borax solution. When firm enough mix with your hands, keep adding the Borax to the glue and don't stop mixing until you get slime. The more you add the more firm it will get, make it as stringy or as firm as you like.
We put all of the Borax and water in, but may not add so much next time. The girls had fun with this stuff for hours. It keeps in a plastic bag for days.
