My little man and I enjoyed making some slime to give out as favors at his birthday party. He has really been enjoying playing with the leftovers! This was a very quick and easy project. It's a little messy, so we keep it at the dining room table, I wouldn't want to try to pick the slime out of the carpet! He frequently requests to do "something at the table!!!"
Materials:
1 container of white glue (4 ounces, Elmer's or another brand)
1 tbsp Borax
Food coloring
Glitter (optional, but strongly suggested)
Water
Directions:
Mix glue with 1/2 cup water and stir until dissolved. Add food coloring and glitter. In a separate container, dissolve Borax in 1 cup water. Warm water will help it dissolve faster (yep, that's my chemistry degree right there). Dump the glue mixture into the Borax mixture. There will be a big hunk of slime and a bunch of excess water. Pour out most of the water and mix the rest into the slime with your hands. Play!
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. I'm not sure what the shelf life is, but ours is 3 weeks and going strong.
