Slime Time!


A lot of Cub Scouts asked for it so here's the recipe the Wolf Den used to make some homemade slime!

Ingredients: Water, one teaspoon of Borax (found in dishwashing aisle), one 5 oz container of clear school glue, food coloring of whatever color slime you want to make
Hardware: Two mixing bowls, measuring cup, spoon for mixing

1) Mix 1 teaspoon of Borax with 1 cup of water
 in one bowl
2) Mix glue with 1/2 cup of water
 in the other bowl
3) Add 6 drops of food coloring to the glue mixture
4) Add the Borax mixture to the glue mixture
5) Knead the slime to get the water out. Your hands will get sticky and wet!

6) Drain the remaining water
.
7) PLAY!

While the slime is still moist be careful you don't get food coloring on your clothes, rugs or furniture! After you play with it for a while though it will dry out enough so that it won't leave traces.

You can mold it, break it up and smoosh it back together. Don't put it in your mouth though, please!

Keep it in a baggy and the slime should stay malleable for about a week.
