Slime

Mix one cup of hot/warm water in the bowl with ½ tsp of borax. Dissolve completely. You can heat the solution in the microwave if the borax doesn’t dissolve completely.

You will want to hold onto this mixture, even after your slime is made! If you find that your slime is too stretchy or turns sticky after a few minutes of playing, you’ll be glad you didn’t dump this out!

Allow the borax and water to cool as you prep for the next step.

Add equal quantity of Elmer’s glue and water. 1/2 cup of glue with 1/2 cup of water. You won’t want to skip this step. The glue needs to be watered down and mixed thoroughly.

Add a squirt of liquid watercolor or a few drops of food coloring. This is also when you want to stir in any glitter.

Now it’s time to pour your glue mixture into the big bowl with the borax and water mixture.
Now the slime will start to separate from the water.
Start squishing the slime to help it absorb as much of the borax and water mixture as possible.

The slime will feel quite sticky or chunky for a minute or two but keep squishing, kneading, stirring, or mixing. Do this for two to three minutes.

Once it isn’t feeling sticky or chunky, pull it out and knead it some more.

Hopefully, you will have an amazing slime that is perfect to stretch, bend, and mold. Lastly, add any confetti to your slime.
