How to Make Homemade Slime Plus Enter a Cool Contest!

Last year, my daughter and I discovered a craft that took about 15 minutes to make, and offered her hours of entertainment (and no electronics were involved!) She has always loved oobleck, putty, and slime at the stores, so I started researching online and found out that you could make homemade slime at home. The ingredient list was basically already everything that was sitting in my laundry room, so she and I got busy creating!

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

• Two mixing bowls
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Glue
• Borax
• Green and yellow food coloring
• Water

Step 2: Mix According to the Directions

• Mix together 3/4 cup warm water, 1 cup glue and several drops of green food coloring in the first bowl.
• In the second bowl, mix together 4 teaspoons borax and 1 1/3 cups warm water.
• Pour the contents of the first bowl into the second, but don’t stir. Let it sit for 1 minute, then lift the now-congealed slime out of the bowl.
• Divide slime so that each child has a piece to play with. The glue in slime can make it stick to certain fabrics. To minimize accidents, give each child a zip-top bag to store it in.

Step 3: Just Have Fun!

It’s really easy to make and has a great Science lesson behind it if you look it up online.
