Answer 1

Mouse Potato has some good ones; I've made the one with borax and Elmer's white glue (NOT school glue) before. It has a very rubbery texture.

You can also mix equal parts liquid starch and Elmer's white glue (not school glue or washable glue!) with optional food coloring. I find it's easier for me with my preschoolers to skip a step (the water, cornstarch, and borax are in liquid starch already.) I buy liquid starch at Walmart.

But my FAVORITE slime recipe is oobleck. Mix corn starch with water. I use 2 boxes for my class of 15 and we take turns playing with it OUTSIDE. It's a liquid but when you roll it in your hands the heat and friction make it solid. When you stop rolling it, it oozes through your fingers. If you poke the mixture quickly, your finger does not penetrate it. But if you push your finger in slowly, it sinks to the bottom. If you make a mess, let it dry and brush the powder away. Pour in the sink to get rid of it with warm/hot RUNNING water.

Hi !!!
Here you go...

Easy Slime Recipe 1

2 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Cornstarch
Food Coloring

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add cornstarch, then food coloring while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. This makes a messy slime that goes from liquid to solid, and is great fun to play with.

Easy Slime Recipe 2

1/4 cup White Glue
1 1/4 cup Water, divided
1 tbsp. Borax - found in the laundry detergent aisle of your grocery store
Food Coloring

- Borax is available in the laundry section of your local grocery store. Add 1 tbsp. Borax to one cup of warm water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Make a 50% water 50% white glue solution by taking 1/4 cup of each and mix thoroughly.
- In a ziploc bag, add equal parts of the borax solution to equal parts of the glue solution. (Half cup of each will make a cup of slime.)
- Add a couple drops of food coloring. Seal bag and knead the mixture.
- If slime is too sticky, add a little more borax. If slime is too slippery, add a little more white glue solution.
**********

* Variations:

* Less rubbery and more transparent slime: Try a 4% solution of polyvinyl alcohol instead of the glue mixture

* Different Consistencies: Add shaving cream or baby powder to the mixture.

* Glow in the Dark Slime: Add several drops of glow-in-the-dark paint during mixing.

General Slime Handling Information

Store in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator for maximum life.
A few drops of Lysol can be added to the Slime to minimize formation of mould and extend the lifetime of the Slime.
Wash hands before using slime to minimize mould growth as well.
Keep off carpets and furniture as it can stain.
Borax is toxic in large doses, so keep out of reach of children under 3.

t_whidden has probably got it right. My grandson got on stage at the Nickelodeon Theater at Great American and got slimmed. He said it tasted like apple sauce.
