The Slime Saga!


I know you are all waiting with bated breath!
The little girl I mentor wanted to make slime! What?
Well, it seems I was about the only one who hadn't
heard of slime!


I asked for help on Facebook, and I got many recipes!
My girl, however, had said she knew how to make it,
so I decided to take everything she needed and let
her take over! Here is what that was:



This was so much stuff that I carried it in this rolling 
tote which I had bought for travel.
It didn't work for travel, but was perfect 
for hauling slime making ingredients!
(Along with our breakfast sausage croissants 
and orange juice!)
(And my purse.)



I fretted all week about our slime not turning out.
After all, I was placing the process
solely in the hands of a fourth grader. 
No worry. This fourth grader knew her slime!


She chose blue, and this is the beautiful result.

I told her it looked like a beautiful ocean blue,
so here are her "waves."

And our hands.



Our slime was more the consistency of play dough.
My girl was really good with the amount 
of activator (the dye free Tide) to put in, and
she got the feel she wanted.


It was so much fun for both of us.
I've already got the bag packed to make slime
again next week!
Thanks so much to all of you who helped!
