There is a borax and water solution  and a glue, water, and food coloring solution. Prepare them separately.<\/div>\n<ul style=\"color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">\n<li>Mix 1 teaspoon borax in 1 cup of water. Stir until the borax is dissolved. <\/li>\n<li>In a separate container, mix 1\/2 cup (4 oz) white glue with 1\/2 cup water. Add food coloring, if desired.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;After you have dissolved the borax and diluted the glue, you are ready  to combine the two solutions. Stir one slime solution into the other.  Your slime will begin to polymerize immediately.<\/li>\n<li>&nbsp;The slime will become hard to stir after you mix the borax and glue  solutions. Try to mix it up as much as you can, then remove it from the  bowl and finish mixing it by hand. It&#8217;s okay if there is some colored  water remaining in the bowl.<\/li>\n<li>The slime will start out as a highly flexible polymer. You can stretch  it and watch it flow. As you work it more, the slime will become stiffer  and more like putty. Then you can shape it and mold it, though it will  lose its shape over time. Don&#8217;t eat your slime and don&#8217;t leave it on  surfaces that could be stained by the food coloring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e06666;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">**source: <a href=\"http:\/\/chemistry.about.com\/od\/chemistryactivities\/ss\/slimerecipe.htm\" style=\"color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">About.com\/Chemistry<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\"><\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"color: #e06666; font-size: large;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">Have fun with your kids making this fun goop!<\/span><\/span><\/i> <br \/><i><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span style=\"color: #e06666;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;\">Jenny<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make Goop Making homemade goop was so fun for our homeschooling family.
