I greatly enjoyed this book. I love slime and different recipes. This book is full of different ones (magnetic slime!!).
I went through the book, and did 5 different recipes. Not only are they affordable, but they are so much fun!!

I enjoyed the different recipes, especially the Step it Up section. Bubble Slime! They are easy to follow recipes that weren't a problem for the 6 year old to listen to and follow along. One of my favorite things, it's borax FREE! Borax is such a harsh chemical and I'm so happy that Jackie Houston has created a wonderful book that uses something that I don't mind my kids touching.

What a great project that you could do with your whole family! This is a terrific book (educating us parents) on this craze that our kids are so into that it’s become difficult to find glue at the store! My daughter loves to do this and has been making slime for over a year now. We also have the closet with the big tubs of her slime collections. And have done the buys of giant sized glue, who knew we would ever need huge containers of glue? Haha.
I really enjoyed the way that you presented this fun activity in a new way. You showed various cool ways to make slime but also emphasized the science behind it and why it works. I’ve often thought my daughter looks like a chemist in the kitchen mixing all these ingredients together. There are some ideas that I don’t think I’ve seen her try and will be interested to see what she does with it.
I’m also wondering about #ScienceFairProjectIdeas ?? The idea of keeping a record of trials of what works and doesn’t work for certain types of slime makes me wonder if this may be the way to go for Science Fair, a fun project but with chemistry behind it.
Great job and good luck with it!

My 8 year old daughter absolutely loves slime and this book has soooo many way to make slime even more exciting for her. I am fairly certain she will try every single one. So far she did the basic slime and it turned out great.

This book is exactly what it says it is. A collection of Borax free slime recipes, it gives readers the basics and then really lets users experiment with different add-ones, to make the slime that is best for you. A perfect book for those looking for some fun school vacation projects with the kids!
