Silly Slime

While at a conference in Kananaskis a few weeks ago the boys attempted to make slime during an activity at the Lodge.  It didn't work and I promised them that we would try it at home.  Our Family Day activity at the house consisted of slime, in 3 colors.  It was a hit and super easy.

Jay loving his new slime.

Carson and his slime.

If you notice all the little pieces of blue slime all over, they covered my kitchen for the next 3 days!

J tried to make a smiley face but the slime kept filling in the eyes!

Recipe:  dissolve 1 tsp of Borax in 1 cup warm water
In another container mix 1:1 white glue and water and whatever color you want
Pour the glue mixture into the Borax mixture and it will immediately start to polymerize.
Remove any excess water.  Play.  Store in sealable container (we use zip-locs) in fridge.
