Slime Recipe History Slime, a gooey and stretchy substance, has captivated children and adults alike for decades. While the exact origins of slime are unclear, it gained widespread popularity as a toy in the late 20th century. Originally made from guar gum, a natural thickening agent, modern slime recipes often use ingredients like glue, borax, or contact lens solution to achieve its characteristic texture. Slime has become a beloved sensory play material, offering endless opportunities for creativity and exploration. #### Ingredients - 1/2 cup white school glue - 1/2 cup water - 1/2 cup liquid starch or laundry detergent - Food coloring (optional) - Glitter (optional) #### Instructions 1. **Mix Glue and Water**: In a bowl, combine the white school glue and water.
