Slime

It's a snake, a pancake, a booger; it's really homemade slime. After all the time the boys spend making mud holes and sand pies, I thought homemade slime was pretty appropriate.

I set all the ingredients out on the counter, which was borax, glue, food coloring, and glitter. The boys measured and mixed 1 cup of Elmer's children's glue with 2 cups of water. Then they added their food coloring and glitter. You can't have enough glitter. In another bowl, the boys mixed half a cup of water with 1 tablespoon of Borax. Both mixtures were put together and slime was created.

The boys played with the slime for quite awhile. The slime felt like gel that could be formed into any shape, but with not as much structure as putty. Nash rolled it into a snake while Graham made hand print pancakes. Before I knew it, mustaches turned into boogers.

I washed the slime and put it into a sealed container for more fun. They wanted to make sure it was safe from their baby sister. We had to save every little bit to show Daddy. I predict more creative slime gooness is in store when Daddy gets home. Look out Daddy.
