slime
The other day I saw a great photo on Pinterest of a little one’s hands covered in a rainbow of slime. I pinned it and showed it to Annesley. She decided we HAD to do it right away and told her papa in their Mentor Meeting (weekly snuggle and chat time) that he needed to get the ingredients so we could make it this week.
Well, tonight was the night! Walmart only had one bottle of clear glue, so we could only make a little bit, but it turned out perfect and we have been playing with it and having a blast.
Here are the directions we followed:
Perfect Slime
Equal Parts
Sta-Flo Liquid Starch
Elmer’s Clear School GlueStir together with a spoon, then dig in with your hands and squish and knead and squish and knead and squish and knead until it is the right consistency.
Separate it into the number of globs that you want to color. We did all four of our food coloring bottles. Mix in a few drops until the color is thoroughly mixed.
When done playing with put in an airtight container in the fridge.

Fisher was up bright and early this morning to play with it again. I think we will be making this again and again. Now to find a fabulous bulk price on Elmer’s clear glue.

It works with regular Elmer’s too, but we’ve never tried coloring it.
Some people say the regular Elmer’s makes it clumpy…have you found that to be the case?
p.s. Keziah is practicing right this minute and has practiced and listened to both CDs every day this week.
