Thank you, Elmers, for playing the commercial basically on replay, Tommy could repeat the entire supply list!!!
So off to Target, my second home, we went and bought some glue!! Tommy made sure I had "soda, baking soda!!" and "contacts, solution" hehe! He must have asked every 10 minutes when we were going to make slime.... "AFTER BATH" I told him for what seemed like the one millionth time!!
Bath time came and went and my kids COULD NOT WAIT!! We had a blast making slime, it was extremely kid friendly, and they loved that they could be involved in the entire process. I helped mix the contact solution portion because that took a while! They watched as I kneaded the slime, it was fun to watch come together. If you know me, you know I went the extra step to add...... GLITTER, of course!!

| Final Product- Green & Purple Glitter Slime |
The recipe we used is as follows: (This can easily be made into large batches)
3- 4oz Elmer's Glue
1 1/2 TBS Baking soda
Food Coloring
3 TBS contact solution
Directions:
Empty glue from containers into bowl then mix in baking soda. Once mixed, add whatever food coloring you would like until you get your desired color. Finally, add in contact solution and mix, mix mix. I kneaded a little in the bowl to soak up the last amount of contact solution. Remove from bowl and knead for a few minutes until slime forms to the right consistency.
** If adding glitter, you can add before contact solution or when kneading. BOTH WORKED WELL**
Some more pictures of our slime making adventure.... these kids loved every minute and have been playing with the slime for over an hour!! MOM WIN!
