Easy Homemade Slime

Homemade Slime

My husband and Lisa went to a Daddy-Daughter date last month and had so much fun making homemade slime! I forgot how much fun it was to make this stuff and how much fun kids have playing with it!

What a cool way to give your kids two activities in one! So simple to make and they will think your the coolest mom ever! Here is what you need:

Homemade Slime

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon borax powder
1 1/2 cups of water, divided
1/2 cup Elmer’s glue
food coloring

Directions:

Add borax powder to 1 cup of water and stir to dissolve. Set aside.
Pour glue into a medium mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup water. Add a few drops of food coloring until the desired color.
Stir into the mix glue solution until smooth. Pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture and watch the solids start to form.
Stir for a few moments and then use your hands to gather the mass.
The mixture will be very soft and wet. Keep kneading until it firms up and feels dry.
Discard the excess liquid in the bowl. The more you knead and play with the slime the firmer it will become.
Store in a Ziploc bag or airtight container and the slime will keep indefinitely.
