Winter is coming up too fast. This is a great thing for kids to do when stuck inside! I have also done it for Halloween parties.

Supplies:

water

food coloring
1 tsp borax
white school glue, like Elmer's

Steps:

Mix the borax with one cup of water. Now you have to stir until it is all dissolved.
In another bowl, mix 4 ounces of glue (1/2 cup) with 1/2 cup water. Add food coloring, mix it well.
Then mix the 2 bowls together. Mix with a spoon then use your hands. It is fine if there is a little bit of colored water left in the bowl. Just dump it out.
Now you have slime, or Flubber if they watched that movie recently! Keep in a zip lock bag in refrigerator.

I have a class experiment about how to make borax slime. Does anyone know how to make this?

The recipe for it above is easy and makes a perfect slime! We substituted the glow in the dark paint for some iron oxide powder and was able to make a "magnetic" slime. (It is attracted to strong magnets like neodymium magnets.) It works just as well with the iron oxide powder and will not stain once it is incorporated into the mixture.

I added it to the glue and water mixture and stirred well before mixing into the borax mixture. It's a lot of fun to play with either way! We are going to try it next with glitter glue!
