Slime
Ingredients
1/2 cup white glue
6 Tbsp. water
food colouring
1-4 tsp. Borax
1-4 Tbsp. water
Method
Mix the glue, 6 tablespoons water and food colouring until
it is dissolved. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon
borax into 1 tablespoon water. Add to the glue solution.
You will get a very thick clump of slime when the two mix.
Pull the clump of slime out of the glue mixture and put
it in a separate bowl.
Mix another batch of the borax solution and add to the
remaining glue mixture. Repeat until all the glue mixture
is used (about 3-4 times). With clean hands, knead the slime
to mix. This will take about 10 minutes and is not very
difficult as the slime easily separates between your fingers.
If a looser, more slimy texture, is desired knead in a bit
more water. The more water you add, the slimier it gets.
The slime doesn't leave a residue and doesn't get stuck
on anything. |
