Materials for 1 bag of slime:

• 1 bottle of white glue (8oz)
• water (8oz)
• liquid starch (about 4oz)
• 2 large ziploc bag
• washable tempera paint

Getting started:

We typically make this in March and call it ooblek, but you can make it anytime! It's easiest to have students make the slime in groups.  We had 6 kids in each group, so we had 4 bags of slime.

• I gave each group two ziploc bags.
• I had them pour in one bottle of white glue and equal parts water.
• They chose the paint color they wanted and added a few drops.
• Each student took turns mixing the bag up.  Tip: Make sure to get all of the air out of the bag before closing and mixing it up.
• We slowly added in about 4 oz of liquid starch.
• Students kept mixing the bag from the outside until the desired consistency was reached.

Slime Tip: Double up the bags in case any slime spills out.

Once we were done playing with it, everyone grabbed a chunk to take home in a small ziplock bag.   /
