If you are interested in making slime at home here is a recipe

Slime

Borax, White Glue, Water, Food Coloring , Zip lock baggie.

How to make your slime:

1. Completely dissolve 1 Tbs. Borax (found in the laundry isle) in 1 Cup Water
2. Separately mix 1/4 cup white glue & 1/4 cup water
3. Mix ½ cup of the borax mixture to ½ cup of the glue mixture in your Zip lock.
4. Add a couple drops of food coloring. (mix food coloring to make what ever color you want!!)
5. Zip the bag & knead mixture.

Tips:
Keep your slime in a sealed bag in the ‘fridge when not playing with it. It may eventually dry out or grow mold. Just throw it away & start again! It should last up to around two months maybe longer as long as kept properly!!!

Explanation:
Borax acts as a cross-linking agent or "connector" for the glue (polyvinyl acetate) molecules.
The glue molecules join together to form even larger molecules called polymers: result - a thickened gel very similar to slime.
