SLIME!!!

Here is a great activity to do with your kids!  They absolutely love to play with this slime! 

Ingredients:

You only need 2 ingredients for slime: non-toxic school glue and borax, which is sold as a laundry booster and household cleaner.  If you use clear school glue, you will get transparent slime.  if you use white glue, you'll get opaque slime.....and you can always add a bit of food coloring to change it all together!

Make the Slime:

• Mix 1 teaspoon of borax in 1 cup of water. Stir to dissolve the borax.
• In a separate container, mix 1/2 cup of glue (1 bottle) in 1/2 cup water.  
• You can add food coloring if you like. 
• When you mix the two solutions together, crosslinks will form between the molecules, forming the gelatinous polymer we call slime.
