Today we made slime.
Squishy, bouncy, stretchy, well, slimy slime.
It.
Is.
Wonderful.
I’m going to tag this as the best craft ever–after all who doesn’t want to make a craft you can play with???
Here’s how to make it:
1 cup glue
3/4 a cup warm water
Food dye
4 teaspoons borax
1 1/3 cups warm water
Mix together the 1 cup of glue and the 3/4 cup warm water in a bowl. Add whatever color food dye you want the slime to be and mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix the 4 teaspoons borax and the 1 1/3 cups warm water. Now pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture. Do not stir. Leave it for one minute and then mix it together. It will have become a thick gel-like substance at this point. (The water and gel will not fully mix together)
Pull the gel-like portion out of the mixture and put it in a plastic bag. Close the bag and kneed the gel until it is one consistency. Now take it out of the bag and play with it! (This is where I got super excited about this awesome new creation and had a difficult time handing it over to Weasley.)
You can keep it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh but it seems more pliable when warm.
Do not let this get on the carpet or clothing–it sticks to most fibrous materials.
Have fun!
