Yeah, so I used another exclamation point, but come on! It’s slime! I found this on Pinterest and knew that I had to try it. It’s a sciency activity with only 4 ingredients and it’s not messy. Perfect.
First, I put the girls in their aprons. I made Kate a new one this weekend. 🙂 Then I got out the ingredients: borax, glue, food coloring and water.
I didn’t notice until later that the recipe was actually at the bottom of that post so we had to kind of wing it. Luckily it’s a pretty forgiving recipe.
First I disolved the borax in some water and then added a bit of food coloring. The girls requested pink. They loved watching the food coloring swirl in the water.
The we took turns squeezing glue into a bowl. Honestly, I think squeezing the glue was their favorite part. We added a bit of water to the glue and then poured in the dissolved borax. Then we had slime! Or as Kate liked to call it goo. I guess I should have dyed it blue a la Fox in Socks.
As you can see, Emily was a bit unsure, but Kate was all over it. Overall, I’d call this activity a huge success! Kate was asking to make more goo after dinner. 🙂 Side note: make sure your littles don’t eat it.
