Do It Yourself Slime Food

DO-IT-YOURSELF 'SLIME'

Steps:

• Making The Borax Water: Borax is a type of powder soap that is available in most grocery stores.
• Add 1 tablespoon Borax powder to 1 cup of water.
• Stir until most of the powder dissolves.
• Store the Borax Water in a jar or bottle, and label the container"BORAX& WATER MIXTURE".
• Remember that one cup of Borax Water will make many batches of"SLIME".
• Preparing The Guar Gum (available at health food stores): Measure 4 cups (approximately 1 litre) of warm water into a large mixing bowl.
• Add 10 drops of food colouring- possibly green!
• SLOWLY (very slowly) stir in 2 teaspoons of guar gum.
• This fine powder has a tendency to clump up if it is not stirred into the water slowly.
• After thoroughly mixing, pour the guar gum mixture into a soda bottle and label it appropriately.
• Making Slime: Pour 1/2 cup of the guar gum mixture into a clean zipper-lock bag.
• Add 1 teaspoon of the Borax Water mixture that you made previously.
• Seal the bag and shake.
• Within seconds you'll have prepared your very own batch of SLIME!
• This gooey mixture will retain its slimy properties for 1-2 days before finally turning into a watery mess.
• When the SLIME is no longer good, seal it in the zipper-lock bag and throw it away.
• Do not pour it down the drain.
