Bucket List: Slime

We are making good progress on our bucket list. Although when I look at the calendar compared to the list, a sinking feeling settles in. One month of summer vacation is down and only one to go. And while we've crossed a few things off our list, we still have a lot left to do in a short period of time.

Yesterday we woke up to cloudy skies and morning rain so Lily begged me to make slime. We had purchased the supplies a few weeks ago but I told her we had to save it for a rainy day and she held me to my word.

The first batch (hot pink) didn't go so well and we ended up throwing it away. The recipe I had found on Pinterest called for equal parts glitter glue and water plus 1.5 times liquid starch. It was a total flop. The second recipe I found called for one bottle of glue (added glitter and coloring if you preferred) and slowly mix in liquid starch until it's the consistency you want. This worked out perfectly! We still had a bottle of blue glitter glue so we made that one first. Then we moved onto clear glue and dumped an entire bottle of ultra fine purple glitter in.
