Gingerbread Slime

Ingredients
2 cups of white school glue
1 & 1/2 cups of very warm water
3/4 teaspoons of borax
Ground cinnamon 
Ginger spice 

Directions

Begin by mixing the desired amount of cinnamon and ginger spice into the glue.

We used about a tablesoppon of cinnamon and a heaping teaspoon of ginger.  You can adjust for your preference. The spices will also color the slime. Once the spices are mixed into the glue, add the water and mix. 

In a seperate bowl, combine the borax with another 1 1/3 cups of very warm water. Once the ingredients of the second bowl are mixed add it to the bowl with the glue.  Use your hands to mix all ingredients.  As you are mixing, the slime will form. There will be residual water left over in the bowl.  That is not needed and can be tossed.   Provide gingerbread cookie cutters, buttons, googley eyes, licorice strips, etc. so your child can make OOZING gingerbread men. Your child will also just enjoy stretching and manipulating the scentuous slime.
