Crafty Tuesday (on a Wednesday): SLIME!

This little project was so fun...Jackson LOVES it!
I love that I can just put it in a ziploc bag & he can use it over and over!

What you need:
1 tsp Borax
1 & 1/2 c water; divided
1/2 c Elmer's glue
food coloring



Directions:

1-  Add Borax to 1 c water - stir to dissolve; set aside.


2-  Pour glue into mixing bowl, add 1/2 c water.



3- Add a few drops of food coloring until desired color is reached and stir to mix glue solution until smooth.



4- Add Borax mixture to glue mixture.  Stir for a few moments and use hands to gather mass.  Keep kneading until it firms up and feels somewhat dry.  Discard excess liquid.


5-  Store in ziploc bag to enjoy again later!!


Final result: It was so easy & the little guy had so much fun playing with it.  He rarely sits for long, but this kept him occupied for a good while!  Go make some!!
