Sick Day Slime

We've been a little under the weather this week and have been spending a lot of time inside. It's always a little challenging to stay in the the house all day. Today, we made SLIME!




"I can hold it high up in the air AND SQUISH IT!!!"



He always notices sounds and was really excited to hear it crackle and pop as he squeezed the little air bubbles out of it.



To make slime:

Dissolve 1 tsp borax into 1 cup of water.
Mix 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup school glue (we used clear Elmer's)
Add a few drops of food coloring if you like (I think we'll put glitter in next time, too!)
Mix it up!  Pull the slime out and throw out whatever water is left.
Knead it for a few minutes and start playing!
