Cool Boy Goop

Well, I'm kinda determined to be the coolest sister out there.

I'm enjoying spending time with my 3 little brothers. 

Mom and Dad went somewhere yesterday

and the boys and I had the run of the house. 

What to do?  What to do? 

I know...let's make slime!  I know...I'm really cool.

I've made this with my princesses a few months ago and they loved it.

I was kinda unprepared for the goofy "boy" jokes

that went along with the slimy, squishy substance. {grimace}

This stuff is really easy and makes a fun touchable oozy stuff

that is great to play with.

I take 1 cup of water and dissolve a teaspoon of Borax in it.

Then, in a seperate container I stir together

 1/2 a cup of Elmer's glue and 1/2 cup water. 

We add the food coloring to this. 

 Combine the 2 containers together and stir...stir...stir.

After it starts to come together, we use our hands to squeeze it.

This part takes awhile...perfect time for the goofy jokes.

I slowly pour off the water as it forms into the firmer "substance".

Levi found that a straw makes really big bubbles.

 Jacob's had a harder texture. 

Not sure why.  He found out his worked like a bouncy ball.
