Slime Time

The library makerspace has been busier than usual this week.  By student request, it was slime making week!  It's possible I may be banned from the supply room for excessive glue usage....

Thank you to the 6th graders who suggested this idea and also helped me adjust the slime recipe.  My first try at slime failed and the slime experts helped me fix the recipe.

HOW TO MAKE SLIME

Supplies:
Elmer’s Glue (a small handful)
2 pinches baking soda
1 squirt contact lens solution
glitter or food coloring

Instructions:

1. Pour out Elmer’s Glue into a bowl. 
2. Add color/glitter and mix.
3. Add 2 pinches of baking soda and mix quickly.
4. As your mixture starts to get sticky, add a squirt of contact lens solution.
5. Mix until slime forms.If it’s too sticky, add a bit more contact lens solution.
6. Wash the bowl and spoon. Take your slime home.
