We've Been Slimed!

We are watching my niece and nephews for a few days and the first request was to make slime again. This is by far the most popular project we've ever done, so here we go Slime Time 2.

Slime Recipe
Mix 1/2 c. of school glue with 1/2 c. water and some paste coloring.
Add 1 c. of water with 1 tsp. of Borax mixed in.
Mix vigorously until it's totally gelatinous and has no extra water in it.
The more you play with it, the more smooth it gets.
Store in fridge when not using.
You can see that it just oozes across the table, but it doesn't stick to hands and hard surfaces.

Slime Time!
Ewww, gross!

Kids and slime must be universal! I bought a box of Borax in Kodiak to make it with the boys and the little kids I babysatt.So much fun. I'd kind of forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder. We may have to make some more when friends come over!! I like how yours were gender specific :)
