Homemade Slime Recipe

I can remember the day we made Homemade Slime in science class in 6th grade.  I went home after school and made my mom run out to get some Broax and Elmer's school glue so I could make more.  Homemade Slime is so quick and easy to make so we had to add it to our Summer Fun List for this Summer.  It was a perfect activity for the kids!  They were able to help with every step and it was quick enough to keep their attention.

You only need a couple of things to make a batch of slime and you probably have them in your home already.  Broax, school glue, food coloring & water.

1. In one bowl mix 1/2 cup (4 oz) glue and 1/2 cup water. Add food coloring if you want colored slime.
2. In the other bowl, mix 1 teaspoon borax with 1 cup water until the borax is dissolved.
3. Add the glue mixture to the borax solution, stirring slowly.
4. The slime will begin to form immediately; stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. (No one makes slime without getting a little messy!) Don't worry about any leftover water in the bowl; just pour it out.
