Ultimate Gooey Slime

Use Elmer's Glue to create your own gooey slime!


Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Just what is this slimy, stringy, rubbery stuff? This variation on slime will probably remind you of a similar substance found in many toy stores. This is the most popular version of "slime" among teachers because it's so easy to make and serves as a great visual tool for introducing students to the properties of polymers.

great stuff

White glue slime is fun for everyone. Be aware that kids will try all things with it and that slime on hair is not a good combination. If that should happen, a product like Goo Gone helps seperate the slime from the kid.
