Slime Making Book

One of my 10 year old's favorite gifts she received for Christmas was this slime making book.

There are many ways to make slime!

My daughter has really been into making slime lately.  She recently received a slime making kit and then received this book which provides recipes for various slimes.  The recipes include ingredients that you are likely to already find in your house.  Some slimes work out better than others, but it's a great experimentation process that allows her to directly test which materials make the best slimes and why.  Is the slime too sticky?  Which ingredient caused this?  Was it too much or too little of a single ingredient?  Does the slime harden after just a few hours?  Why?  Is there an ingredient that will prevent this? 

Books such as these are great gifts that provide instructions, but also allow a kid to get their hands dirty and test things on their own.
