You've Been Slimed Craft

You've Been Slimed

by: Catherine Newman

Quick and inexpensive, slime offers your child an optional lesson in chemistry and a mandatory experience in tactile ectasy.

Once you've made it, play with it: Good for plain old-fashioned squeezing, pulling, pinching, and stretching. Also for pretending you sneezed out a gigantic something. If you make it again, try cooking it for a longer or shorter time and see how the consistency changes. (Longer cooking makes it very firm; shorter cooking yields a more liquid substance.) As always, please supervise kids closely, slime shouldn't be ingested.

How to Make Psylly Slime
Metamucil is made from psyllium husks, which when immersed in a liquid, are capable of absorbing more than 10 times their volume. What you end up with is a mucilanginous gel (think Jell-O). Great slippery fun — just don't think too hard about the whole Metamucil thing.

In a plastic jar with a tight lid, have your child shake together the Metamucil and water for 1 minute.

Pour the mixture into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl and stir occasionally as it cools.

2 teaspoons of Original Metamucil Fiber Supplement ("Coarse Milled")

1 cup of water
