Made this stuff for my co-op preschool today. It was a hit! At first, I thought it wasn't going to work, but when I actually followed the instructions and made sure ALL the excess liquid was drained (which was more than I expected there to be), it did. It did also help to let it sit for a minute. Very fun!!

I think I figured out the problem with the soupy slime. Our first batch turned out that way because the kids started stirring right as soon as I poured the borax water into the glue mix. The second time we let it sit for a while and everything came together beautifully.

So much fun! My house is full of giggles right now! It took awhile to get my littlest one to touch it, but now she's having a blast! Thanks so much for this recipe! And by the way all I had was a generic brand of glue and it worked just fine.

I didn't even know Elmer's made clear glue! How fabulous! I use to be a "science birthday party entertainer" here in Manhattan and have made slime by the gallons with kids. It was pure awesomeness! My advice/reminders for parents is it is only glue, soap (borax), and food coloring. Food coloring is the only thing that might stain, everything else cleans up easily. And Elmer's brand is the only way to go, other brands never worked as well in my many years of slime making.

Hi. We just made up a batch with our kids, and all we got was colored soap and glue soup. What did we do wrong?? Please help!! Does it matter if the glue is a different brand than Elmer's?? It's the same kind of white kids' glue that we used. Just not Elmer's.

Just made up a triple batch for my 3 kids as an end-of-summer goodie. Sadly, none of ours solidified like in your pictures. We got the initial clumps, and working them in just made them smaller, but no more materialized. Hmmm, wonder what I did wrong.

Just in time for the rainy season!! I'm going to wait to pull this out of my bag of tricks for when the sun has all but permanently gone away and the rain clouds are daily, but I think my little guy will love it. Does it need to be made in a non-food-prep bowl or does it wash up ok?

Infoxicating Lady- Lucky for you one of the main ingredients is laundry soap! ? It should wash out easily with warm water and a little soap if needed. But it's also not "sticky" so it shouldn't make a mess unless your little spawn actually rubs it into something:)

We've gotten it on the carpet and I still have a little mark from it. I wiped as much of it up as I could, let it dry, vacuumed, and that took most of it out. If anyone has a better solution, I'm all ears.

A carpet cleaner once told me that most stains can be removed from carpet by gently scrubbing with an old toothbrush and a solution of warm/hot water and white vinegar, in equal parts. Sometimes it takes a two tries, but so far it has always worked for me.

I have to ask though, just in case (since I am the proud mother of the Spawn of Satan, the Sister of the Spawn, and the Spawn-ette in training), how would I get it out of clothes, carpet or furniture?

I ask this for the obvious reason that my little darlings would somehow manage to get it into all three, along with hair, the washing machine, the dishwasher, and everything else you can possibly imagine.

My daughter had a blast making this. We have a science fair this month at school and she is going to make this her submission. P.S. What is with everyone saying their children are spawn from satan/devil? I have a great sense of humor but that seems to be of bad taste. Just sayin

acetone nail polish remover. I say this from experience. last night my friends dog got into her slime and spilt it all over their expensive carpet. we google what to do and it said acetone nail polish remover and it worked great!

The Slime Mould Collective is a portal for interesting, progressive and ground breaking research and creative practice working with the simple yet intelligent organisms. If you are involved with or interested in slime moulds as a scientist, artist, designer, teacher, philosopher... (etc), please join and share what you do...

I love the way these look. They color and transparency changes as they dry and they are really easy (albeit messy) to make. So the next time you make slime set some chucks of different colors aside and turn them into galactic art!

What I love about this project is the two in one nature. You can start by simply making slime with your kids, which is a guaranteed boredom buster, and then use some it to make something lovely for your window. This would be a great double whammy project for the summer time.

I have always liked anything to do with slime & love the ways itr can be molded or shaped- never though to let it dry out.- I will be using this idea for VBS this summer as it has all the components I need- cheap- messy & utilizes recycling(lids).

In the woods near her home, Lucy Jones discovers the magic of slime molds and becomes entangled in their fluid, nonbinary way of being. Lying at the edge of our understanding, slime molds invite us into their mystery and remind us of the vast possibilities of life on Earth.

In this creeping stage, slime mold plasmodium is often bright yellow, though it can be orange, red, or hyaline. It can spread for a few inches, or several square meters. Plasmodium feeds on bacteria, fungal hyphae, spores, algae, and lichens. Then a radical change occurs and it morphs into fruiting bodies, many of which are brightly colored and distinctive. The fruiting bodies tend to be between one and four millimeters high, visible to the naked eye but much more visible with a hand lens or loupe, I read. Then the slime mold sporulates. Spores carry forth on wind; air currents; in the bodies of others; and in water. The cycle continues.

I was hooked. How could I find more? Online, I saw that myxomycetes were having a cultural moment. Instagram and other sites were filled with people posting photos and joining groups of appreciation and identification. Why were people so drawn to them today? I wondered. Could we learn anything from the slime molds? What could they teach us in this moment of change? Could we see the world more clearly alongside them? Could we think differently through them? What would they say if we tried to listen?

Both Barry and Gill talked enthusiastically about the beauty and diversity of the fruiting bodies, and I started to pick up the names of the major groups: Stemonitis, Physarum, Arcyria, Cribrarium, Trichia, and Lamproderma.

While slime molds have been measured by scientists and given tasks in the lab, it will be interesting to see how they entangle with culture in different ways and continue to influence ways of being. How might a kinship with slime smother our inadequate but still-dominant ideas about the world?

Sarah Lloyd, a leading slime mold researcher based in Tasmania, thinks that they are the most remarkable organisms on Earth. In her book Where the Slime Mold Creeps, she shares her fascination through descriptions and photographs of the many species she has found in the forest around her home, including a number new to science, and one named after her. Her close study has brought the hidden ecology of myxos to a wider audience.

She explained to me how important slime molds are in the amoeba stage in the soil. The amoeboflagellates of myxomycetes can account for around 50 percent of soil amoebae. Within one cubic centimeter of wood, thousands will live. What are they doing? Feeding on bacteria, returning nitrogen to the soil, recycling nutrients, and keeping the populations of microorganisms in balance.

Currently, the relationships between slime molds and others, and their role in ecosystems, are understudied and incompletely known. But with four visible life stages, each one will have a different niche in habitats and wider food webs.

Digital photography, social media, and perhaps even the Covid-19 pandemic, which fixed people to their local areas, has given rise to a new noticing of slime molds. I wonder if there is also a growing appetite for transcendence and awe in our wonder-depleted world.

I asked Sarah about studying slime molds in an ethical way. I told her I felt a little weird about the idea of having a pet slime mold. Does such an intelligent being, able to map the cosmos, really deserve to live in a Tupperware container on a shelf in my house?

For deeper kinship, Sarah encourages anyone with a keen interest to use the citizen science app iNaturalist and help broaden our collective knowledge of biodiversity. Because the group of people who study slime molds is small, anyone who keeps a record of encounters can make a meaningful contribution. The more we know about slime molds, the better they can be protected.

She pointed out a mass of tiny maroon tubes, clumped together on old damp pallets. The wood was loose, so I picked it up and fetched my hand lens. It was a mother-fucking slime mold. In my garden. In my garden! Holy shit. The hunt was really on.

The acorns had all fallen the day I returned to Burnham Beeches to meet Barry, Gill, and hopefully some more slimes. The late autumn sunlight was gentle and warm, belying the chaos these unseasonal temperatures were beginning to unleash on our planet.
