No Borax or Contact Solution Slime Recipe

If you haven’t heard already, slime is THE THING right now for kids, but dealing with measuring out borax (or having to find it and buy it!) or contact solution is a pain in the butt...

So check out this recipe WITHOUT the borax or contact solution!

– Elmers glue, white or clear – Elmer’s glue slime activator – Food Dye (yellow, red and blue) – Plastic snakes (or anything else fun to rescue!)

Approximately 1/4 cup activator per 4-6 oz glue.

I started with about 2 drops of red, and like 6 or 8 yellow. I added a small amount of blue at the end to make it darker.

Spoons are good for the initial mixing, but I think to get that “slime” texture you have to really work it by hand!
