Materials: white glue, borax, 2 plastic bowls, water, 2 popsicle sticks, food color
Procedure:
- Pour 1/2 cup of white glue into the plastic bowl
- Add 1/2 cup of water to the glue and stir with the popsicle stick
- Add food coloring to create a spooky potion
- Pour 1 cup of water into the second bowl
- Add 1 tsp of borax to the water and stir with the second popsicle stick
- Slowly, add the glue/water mixture to the borax/water mixture
- This is messy!
- The two mixtures will form a slimy ball. Pick this up, and knead it in your hands until it's dry.
- You can store this in a plastic bag to compare it to the other potions.

Thanks for this idea!!! We tried it today and had a great time. I'm going to post some pictures and link back to your blog on my blog. We're going to try the other potions soon.
