Metamucil Slime



This recipe is truly gross. The little kids loved it and the big kids poked at it after they said it looked like snot. It was something none of the kids had ever seen before.

This can start to smell after a while so only make it a day or two before the event. We filled two large ziplock bags of slime to have enough for four large blue sheets.

Our large blue trays are donated from a church member. They are sterilized after surgery but then not used again. They are great for laying out material and having messy activities on.


Recipe:
1 tsp Metamucil or similar soluble fiber
8 oz water

Mix 1 teaspoon of Metamucil with 1 cup (8 ounces) of water in a microwaveable bowl.

Place bowl in the microwave and nuke on high for 4-5 minutes (depends on microwave power) or until the goo is about to bubble out of the bowl. Turn off the microwave.

Let the mixture cool slightly, then repeat (microwave until about to overflow). The more times this step is repeated the more rubbery the substance will become.

After 5-6 microwave runs, (carefully - hot hot HOT) pour the slime onto a plate or cookie sheet. Use a spoon to spread it out.

Allow to cool.

Slime can be stored at room temperature in a sealed baggie for several months. It will last indefinitely in a sealed bag in the refrigerator.
