Cannonball Jack saw this on some blog I was reading and decided he’d like to give it a try.  I’m love doin’ crafts/science experiments that are easy and use ingredients that I already have on hand.

You need:

• Elmer’s glue
• Borax Powder

Here’s how:

• Fill a cup with water and add a spoonful (or more if you want) of the Borax powder and stir it up good.
• Fill another cup with about 1/2 inch of glue.
• Add three tablespoons of water to the glue and stir.
• Add two tablespoons of the Borax solution and stir well. Ewwww!  Slime!
• Lift out the spoon with the slime and place it on the dish.
• Let it sit for about 30 seconds and then pull it off the spoon and play with it!

If it doesn’t get horribly dirty you can save it in a zippy bag.   This was a ton of fun.  And it takes about 3 minutes unless you count the time you are gonna spend watching YouTube vids of kids making all kinds of slime.

• Low investment
• Minimal effort
• Huge grins on all the kids!

Cannonball had so much fun and loved the slime so much that he named his.  Bob.
