Preparation

Step 1

Here's What To Do:

Squeeze the entire bottle of glue into a big bowl. Fill the empty 8-ounce glue bottle with water and add water to the glue. Stir a lot while adding several drops of poster paint or food coloring. (Note: You can mix colors, add just one color or leave the goop white. We often make our goop purple.)

In the smaller bowl, stir together 1 cup warm water and borax powder until almost dissolved. (Note: Don't worry if some little clumps don't disappear completely.)

Gather family or friends. Slowly and stirring constantly, pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture. Swirl the results with your hands. In seconds, goop will form into gooey globs as it oozes from your slippery grasp. Pick it up, knead it, squeeze it and enjoy playing with


Note: Keep the Gooey Goop away from carpets and upholstered furniture. If it gets on your clothing, wash it out quickly with soap and water.

Extra idea: While you are mixing the recipe, make up other names for the concoction, such as "Sublime Slime" or "Slithery Concoction" or "Ectoplasmic Ick."
