How to make your own slime at home with simple ingredients

What is slime?

Slime has been all the rage since a few years now. We often see relaxing and satisfying videos of slime in Instagram. Slime is a squishy and oozy toy often used by kids. Slime has also been found effective calming anxiety and used as an ASMR tool. Adults also use slime; it helps some of them stay calm and is a distractive means for when you are thinking too much. Slimes are a fun indoor activity to do with your children, or to just relax your nerves. 

Here is an easy slime recipe that you can easily make at home!

What will you need?
1 bottle of school glue
1 packet of borax
1 cup water
Food coloring (optional)
PS: you can use contact saline solution and skip the borax!

Let’s start making slime!
Take a clean bowl and drop all of the glue into it. Give the glue a little whisk with a wooden stick or spoon. 
Now add the borax powder into the glue. But add little at a time and mix so that you have an idea of its thickness. Also, be very careful while using borax powder. Make sure it is done under adult supervision when with kids. 
Now add water little by little into the prepared mixture. Add water in batches and make sure the mixture is not too liquid or not too thick. 
At this point you can add a few drops of food coloring if you wish to. 
Now what? Mix your way into making your very own slime. 

Few tips to follow while making slime:
Always wear gloves while making slime.
Always use a plastic bowl and spoon for easy clean up.
To make sure your slime is of the perfect consistency, use your hands after a while. 
Keep away from eyes and face.
