So sorry its been so long since my last update on here! I have been keeping up on instagram and will get back on the blog home for an update on my weightloss journey soon, promise! everything has been going good on that front though!
With summer in full swing we’ve been out and about and trying to make the most of our time till school starts in august! Today we wanted to try something new! I remember growing up we loved playing with GAK! You know that gooey, squishy, colorful fun, slimy stuff and what 5 year would have fun playing with this stuff! Soooo off to our trusty pinterest we went & we found a recipe so we can give this stuff a try!
I loved that this was going to be a project that Logan & I were able to do together! He was able to help every step of the way! From emptying out an entire bottle of glue, to adding his color of choice to the batch to adding the magic ingredient that turns glue into slime!
Logan HAD a blast creating this crazy concoction!! He's been going through a GhostBuster phase so of course he picked the color green & he's been putting slime all over his lego houses & his his guys have been capturing the slime ghosts all afternoon!
SO how do you make slime/GAK…its actually really easy and really fast! All you need is a few simple ingredients and your all set to go! MIX everything up and you'll magically see the slime come together before you're eyes!!
You start with 1 bottle of classic Elmers glue …empty out the whole bottle & once you've got that done fill the bottle with water, put the top back on & shake it up! You want to get every last drop of glue out…pour out the water/glue mixture into the bowl and mix it all up.
Next pick your favorite color & depending on what shade of that color you want squeeze in drops of that color. Now mix your glue real well to get all the color in there.
Now grab 1/2 a cup of warm water & add 1 teaspoon of Borax (you can find this in your laundry detergent aisle) you're gonna wanna combine till the borax is dissolved. Once its all dissolved slowly pour in the water/borax mixture into your glue/food coloring bowl and start stirring slowly, combing more and more water as you go…soon you'll see the consistency of the glue turn into thick slime.
Youll notice that there'll be left over water at the bottom of your bowl and thats ok! we just transferred our slime into a separate bowl once it got thick enough to pick up and stretch)…once everything mixed and thickened its time to get your hands dirty & play!
This was such a fun quick project, perfect for those rainy days! Have fun creating!!
