Unicorn Poop Slime

Over this past Labor Day weekend, while I was out of town in Iowa, my wife and kids took an afternoon and made Unicorn Poop Slime.  Google it and you will seriously find recipes for Unicorn Poop Slime.  Here's just one website describing how to make it.

Unicorn Poop Slime

Basically you need regular school style glue, borax, shaving cream (to make it fluffier), and food coloring to adjust the color as you like.  My wife tells me you can by the biggest box of borax imaginable for less than five dollars.  The slime recipe use one tablespoon of borax, so we have quite a bit of borax leftover in our house.  LOL!

Follow the recipe, of which there are many different varieties online, and soon you have slime!  We've had the slime for about 3 weeks now (at the time of this writing) and it hasn't dried out and the kids continue to play with it.  It drives my wife and I a bit mad at times because when they toss it around, tiny fragments will break off and inevitably our kids don't fully clean up there mess.  You can see our slime in the video below I made while testing the consistency.

Despite the headaches of cleaning up bits of slime our kids don't pick up, this is a cool science experiment that is easy for kids to complete on their own with just a bit of parental guidance.  Our kids have had many hours of fun playing with their slime too, so well worth the minimal effort it takes to make.
