Green Slime
There's nothing more fun than playing with goo; here, you can make your own slimy green gunge.
- 2 mixing bowls
- 8 ounces of Elmer's glue (must be Elmer's)
- Green and yellow food coloring
- Spoon for stirring
- 1 tablespoon Borax (you can find this in the laundry detergent aisle)
- Resealable plastic bag or clean plastic-covered container
1. Mix one cup cold water with 8 ounces of Elmer's Glue in one mixing bowl.
2. In a second bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of Borax with one-half cup of very hot water (not boiling). Stir well until the Borax is dissolved.
3. Add about 10 drops of each food coloring to the Borax-water mixture.
4. Slowly add the hot Borax-water mixture to the glue-water mixture. Stir with a spoon for a few seconds.
5. Using your hands, reach into the bowl and mix everything together. In less than a minute you'll have a gooey, nonsticky, stretchy material.
6. Store the goop in a resealable plastic bag or covered plastic container. You can keep the goop for several weeks as long as you refrigerate it when you're not playing with it.

Cool stuff!! I told my 3 year old grandson, that what he wanted for Christmas was mud, rocks, and dead leaves. At first he thought this was a good idea, but finally burst out with,"No! I want toys!!" He's still not sure about this, so I thought to give him just those things. The "dead leaves" will be a book, or montage of leaves I've collected. The rocks will be some pretty polished rocks I have. And I think this slime recipe is just right for the "mud". It will have to be brown, though. Thanks!
