directions

  • Mix the glue, 6 tablespoons water and food coloring until it is dissolved.
  • In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon borax into 1 tablespoon water.
  • Add to the glue solution.
  • You will get a very thick clump of slime when the two mix.
  • Pull the clump of slime out of the glue mixture and put it in a separate bowl.
  • Mix another batch of the borax solution and add to the remaining glue mixture.
  • Repeat until all the glue mixture is used (about 3-4 times).
  • With clean hands, knead the slime to mix.
  • This will take about 10 minutes and is not very difficult as the slime easily separates between your fingers.
  • If a looser, more slimy texture is desired knead in a bit more water.
  • The more water you add, the slimier it gets.
  • The slime doesn't leave a residue and doesn't get stuck on anything.
  • Store in an airtight container.
  • This can easily be doubled, tripled or quadrupled.
  • THIS RECIPE IS NOT FOR EATING!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
