Materials
½ cup clear Elmer’s Glue
½ cup water
Liquid laundry starch
Orange craft sand
Directions
Pour ½ cup Elmer’s glue into a small bowl. Add the water and mix well. You can get orange craft sand from Hobby Lobby for about $3.00/jar, which is more than you’ll need. I don’t really measure how much to use, but to keep it simple, add about ½ cup of the orange sand. Regular beach sand works well, too, if you don’t care about the color. Add the laundry starch slowly, about 2 tablespoons at a time. The slime will start to form as your stir. Add more starch, a tablespoon at a time, and mix well. The slime will start to coagulate and pull away from the sides of the bowl. When it’s hard to stir, start mixing it with your hands. A little laundry starch on your hands will keep it from sticking to you. When it’s no longer sticky, it’s ready to play with. The slime can be kept in an airtight container when not in use, but will need a little re-mixing when you get it out again. Always be sure to have your child wash his/her hands after playing with the slime!
