Homemade Slime
Kids of all ages and even adults will enjoy making and playing with this easy slime recipe!
Supplies Needed: 1 bottle of Elmer’s glue, 1/2 tsp borax, 1 cup hot water, 1/2 cup water, 2 bowls, spoon or whisk, small storage container
Optional Supplies: Food coloring, glitter
Instructions:
Step 1: In a large bowl, dissolve 1/2 tsp borax in 1 cup hot water.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix 1 bottle of Elmer’s glue with 1/2 cup water.
Step 3: Add food coloring and/or glitter to the glue mixture (optional)
Step 4: Pour the glue mixture into the bowl with the water and borax. The glue mixture will start to polymerize.
Step 5: Start squishing the slime so it absorbs as much as the borax and water as possible. Continue squishing for 2 – 3 minutes.
Step 6: When the slime is no longer sticky, remove it from the bowl and continue to knead it.
Step 7: Enjoy your slime!
Notes:
If your slime is too sticky, try putting it back in the bowl to add more water.
If your slime is too stretchy, dissolve additional 1/4 tsp borax in water, add your slime and squish more.
Store slime in a bag or airtight container.
