Following is the recipe for making something sold under the name of GACK! in
|
|
stores. It's lots of fun for kids to play with, as it's a cross between
|
|
putty and Jell-o. It can be easily formed into different shapes, but will
|
|
quickly lose that shape and become a formless puddle once you stop
|
|
manipulating it. Best of all, it's very inexpensive to make yourself.
|
|
|
|
Combine:
|
|
2 cups white glue (regular old Elmer's school glue)
|
|
1 and 1/2 cups water
|
|
Food color of choice
|
|
|
|
Mix the above until it's not sticky.
|
|
|
|
Separately, dissolve:
|
|
1 teaspoon Borax (found in stores in the laundry section)
|
|
in 1/2 cup of water
|
|
|
|
Add Borax solution to the glue solution. You will get a very thick clump of
|
|
Slime where the two mix. Now you must work in the rest of the solution; with
|
|
clean hands, knead the Slime to get it to mix. This will take about ten
|
|
minutes or so, and is not very difficult as the Slime easily separates between
|
|
your fingers.
|
|
|
|
If you desire a looser, more slimy texture, add a bit more water and knead it
|
|
in. The more slimy this is, though, the more apt it is to get stuck in any
|
|
fabric it comes in contact with. I recommend that children only be allowed to
|
|
play with it on a table.
|
|
|
|
If it gets stuck on any fabric, just soak it in water. In time the Slime will
|
|
simply dissolve.

Have fun!
