Slime

Do you remember making slime as a kid? Growing up in a time where Nickelodeon game shows were huge and green slime was hilarious? I have great memories.

I thought I would post this old recipe just in case anyone forgot how to make this good time happen.



What you need:
2 bowls
Water
1 teaspoon of Borax
1/2 cup of white glue (or if you want even more slime like go for the clear Elmers for more $$)
Food coloring

In one bowl put one cup of water and the 1t of Borax and mix it until it dissolves.
In the other bowl put 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of glue and mix in food coloring. Mix until it is completely blended.
Poor the glue mixture into the Borax mixture and watch it polymerize. Mix it as much as you can, than kneed it by hand.... or just let the kids do it!
