Making slime is a fun and easy activity! Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:

Slime Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup of white school glue
  2. 1 cup of water
  3. Food coloring (optional)
  4. 1 teaspoon of borax powder

Slime Making Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of white school glue.
  2. Add 1 cup of water to the glue and stir until well combined.
  3. If you want colored slime, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of borax powder with 1 cup of warm water. Stir until the borax is completely dissolved.
  5. Slowly pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture while stirring continuously.
  6. Keep stirring until the slime starts to form and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  7. Once the slime has reached the desired consistency, you can knead it with your hands to make it smoother.
  8. Store the slime in an airtight container when you’re not playing with it.

Remember, while slime is generally safe to play with, it’s important to wash your hands after handling it and avoid ingesting it. Have fun making and playing with your slime!
