Making Slime


We loved this project and it was very simple!

Here is what you will need

Liquid Starch
2 Clear Glue
Food Coloring(only need 1 drop, per bowl...trust me)

Add the 2 bottles of glue to the bowl then fill a glue bottle up 2 times with the liquid starch and add those to the bowl.
Begin to stir together, then divide the mixture between 4 bowls, add the food coloring, and use your hands to squish(and squish and squish, this takes awhile) to the right consistency.


I then put it out on a aluminum foil covered sheet for them...





Stretchy

Brother wasn't a big fan because he isn't crazy with getting his hands wet or dirty... haha

Squishy!

"Look Ma! Lips!"


It gets smoother and firmer the longer it sits.

**Note- this is VERY messy if you have young kids you may want to mix it all together and then let them play with it after its mixed and had time to sit a few minutes. :-)
