- Total Time: 15 minutes

Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Mix the Glue: In a mixing bowl, combine the glue, 6 tablespoons of water, and your desired food coloring. Stir until the ingredients are fully dissolved and evenly mixed. This forms the base of your slime mixture. |
| 2 | Prepare Borax Solution: In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of borax into 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until the borax is completely dissolved, creating a borax solution. |
| 3 | Combine Solutions: Pour the borax solution into the glue mixture. As you stir, you’ll notice the formation of a thick clump of slime. This is a sign that the ingredients are reacting and your slime is coming together. |
| 4 | Separate Slime: Remove the clump of slime from the glue mixture and transfer it to a separate bowl. This will make room for the next batch of slime. |
| 5 | Repeat Process: Prepare another batch of borax solution and add it to the remaining glue mixture. Repeat this process until all the glue mixture is used, typically about 3-4 times. Each addition of borax solution will create more slime. |
| 6 | Knead the Slime: With clean hands, knead the slime to mix it thoroughly. This step is crucial for achieving the right consistency. It may take about 10 minutes of kneading, but the slime will gradually become smoother and more elastic. Don’t worry, it’s not difficult as the slime easily separates between your fingers. |
| 7 | Adjust Texture (Optional): If you prefer a looser, more slimy texture, you can knead in a bit more water. The amount of water you add will affect the sliminess of the slime, so adjust according to your preference. |
| 8 | Enjoy the Fun: Your slime is now ready to play with! Stretch it, squish it, and let your imagination run wild. The slime doesn’t leave a residue and won’t get stuck on anything, making it perfect for messy fun. |
| 9 | Storage: Store any leftover slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh for future use. Properly stored, your slime should last for several days of enjoyment. |
| 10 | Scaling Up: This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled if you want to make larger batches of slime. Just adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly. |
