Want to make slime at home?!

June 17, 2022 By Library Staff

In case you missed the activity at the park on 6/15/22 we made slime/Flubber. If you want to make it at home here is the recipe. Now this makes a very large batch of slime and if you prefer it to be more of a stiff flubber consistency you will need to increase the borax to 3/4 tsp per 1 cup of water.

1/4 tsp Borax
1/2 C water
1/2 C Water
1/2 C Elmers Glue (clear or white)
Glitter and food gel/food coloring

First mix Borax into 1/2 cup of warm tap water. then in a separate bowl mix your glue and 1/2 c of water together. Once the glue mixture is fully mixed together, add glitter and food coloring. Once those are fully mixed in add borax and stir and knead slim/flubber together.

Make your own “Goo” at home and let us know how it went!

We have a wonderful book about slime here at the library that can be checked out and we also ready “Billy Bloo is stuck in goo”.
