Slimey Slime....

Our son joined a new school which has a lot more of parent participation.  I started volunteering in his class.  Working with the class teacher, I am doing more science experiments in class with the kids.  Decided to post the experiments we are doing in class here with the recipes (ofcourse)....

Last week we did Slime.  Something about slime is soo appealing to all kids.  Girls and Boys were equally excited to make it.  Some took it back home to play at leisure, some couldn't wait and played in class. 

Slime is one of the things that are so easy to make that they can make it any number of times and its exciting every single time.

Ingredients to make slime: 

3-4 tablespoons of white school glue (Elmers glue)
a couple of drops of food color

1 tablespoon of Borax powder
Half a cup of water.
a craft stick or a plastic knife to mix


  • Mix the Borax powder into half cup of water and stir it.  This is the Borax solution we will use.
  • Pour 3-4 tablespoons of glue into a disposable cup or bowl.  You can add a little water if desired.
  • Add the food color to the glue and mix
  • While mixing the glue, add a few drops of Borax solution.  Keep adding a few drops and mix till the slime forms.  Once all the glue is mixed and formed into a big blog, slime is ready to play.  The more you play the harder it gets..
  • Enjoy....
