Instructions
Preparation
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of warm water with 1 tablespoon of borax powder.

Mixing the Glue
- In a mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of school glue.
- Add a few drops of yellow food coloring and mix well until the desired shade is achieved.
- Optionally, include 1 tablespoon of lemon-scented essential oil and stir until blended.
Combining Mixtures
- Slowly pour the borax solution into the glue mixture while stirring continuously.
- Watch as the slime begins to form – it will clump together and become stretchy.
Kneading the Slime
- Once the slime pulls away from the bowl, use your hands to knead it until smooth. This may take a few minutes.
- If the slime feels sticky, add a little more borax solution or a touch of cornstarch to adjust the texture.
Storage
- Keep your lemonade slime in an airtight container when not in use to maintain its consistency.
Notes
Experiment with colors and textures. Avoid borax for a safer alternative using contact lens solution and baking soda. Try different essential oils for varied scents.
