Sunday & Monday Family Fun Night (Slime & Playdough recipe)

When I was younger we used to make homemade gak(slime) so I decided to make it in to craft night for my family! Sunday night we made and played with Slime and Monday night we made play dough!

We all had a blast and it was such a cheap family fun night! Who doesn't love cheap!! Any who, here is my recipes:

GAK(SLIME) -

Ingredients
- Elmer's Glue(White is what I prefer) - 4oz 
- 1-cup of water
- 1 tsp of borax
- Food coloring


Start by dissolving a teaspoon of Borax in one cup of water(any size bowl)

In a separate bowl pour 4oz elmer's glue and (once the glue is all out of the bottle) fill up the glue bottle with water and pour in the mixing bowl with glue. Then add your choice of Food coloring. Stir

Then add your borax mixture into your glue solution bowl and begin to fold your gak(slime) until solid enough to pick up with hands and knead to a firm state. (you may feel as if you messed up the recipe because at first it feels like snot but I promise you its right!)

Enjoy! WE love this recipe!








Play dough recipe
( http://www.kristanlynn.com/2011/09/best-play-dough-recipe.html) I found the recipe here

Ingredients:
1 C Flour
1 C Water
1/4 C Salt
1 TBSP Vegetable Oil
2 tsp Cream of Tarter
Food Coloring (actual coloring or a kool-aid packet will do)
Sparkles (If you wanna be a fun mom!)
Sauce Pan and Wooden Spoon


First Pour all ingredients into sauce pan and mix until smooth.Once the mixture is (mostly) clump free. Heat over MEDIUM heat. Stir. Don’t stop stirring. After a few minutes it will start to clump up. You will be able to tell when it is finished it will form one big clump and change colors slightly.

(Only change I made to this recipe was on accident...I made it with only 1 tsp of cream of tarter on my first try and the kids likes that one the best! It was less sticky and more play dough like!)
