Materials:

·         White glue, such as Elmer’s glue or woodworking glue.

·         Liquid Laundry Starch, such as Sta-Flo brand (laundry aisle of fewer and fewer grocery stores Click here for store locator  Click here to purchase online) .  Put the starch in a small cup or better yet, an empty water bottle with a with one of those pop top lids (you know, the lids you can pull open and push closed.)

·         A paper or styrofoam plate for mixing.

·         A ziptop bag, film canister, plastic easter egg or similar container for storage of your slime

Procedure:

1.        Squeeze a blob of glue the size of a quarter onto the plate.

2.        Add about a tablespoon of  liquid starch onto the glue.

3.        Now, prepare to get messy.  Take two fingers and use a circular motion to combine the glue and starch together.  If it stays gluey, add a few more drops of liquid starch.

4.        Pick up the blob and knead it in the palm of your hand, using your fingertips.

Result:  You’ve made a cool polymer slime!  Some times it comes out real slimy, sometimes it comes out more rubbery.  Make several batches till you get a few you like.
