Making Slime...Pinterest Style!

I confess...I have a Pinterest addiction...It all started with my search for baby nursery ideas...and just spiraled out of control from there...
Disclaimer...If you follow the link above to Pinterest and develop your own addiction...I and or this blog is in no way responsible...Surf  Pinterest at your own risk!
Bryson and I like to look for fun ideas together...and found a recipe for Slime...we immediately ran to the store to buy everything we needed...and had the best time making it...So I wanted to share the fun!

 You need a box of Borax Laundry Booster (If I found it in Snyder...you can probably find it anywhere)
1 box of food coloring...Glue...Popsicle sticks and plastic cups...
 You will also need a bottle to mix the Borax with water...this is what I had on hand but don't recommend
using a glass bottle for obvious reasons...
 Mix about 1/4 cup of Borax to about 16oz of water
and shake until dissolved...
 in plastic cups measure out and mix equal parts of Glue and Water...
 Add food coloring of your choice and mix well...
then mix in small amounts of Borax solution...the slime will start to form on  the popsicle stick...
 Keep adding and mixing Borax solution until you get the consistency you want...
The more Borax you add the more firm your slime will be...
 Take a moment to be silly...
 and then rinse the slime with cold water...
 Daddy joined in the fun...and made green slime...
 We played with the first batch then made more!
as you can see 1 bottle of glue goes a long way...
I hope I don't find any of this slime on the rugs or couches...but it's not supposed to be very hard to clean up...and was a fun family project...so We will definitely be making Slime again!
