Slime

Recently we went to a Girl Scout event where we needed to bring a Glow in the Dark SWAP.
We made Bats (see previous post) and I've already shown pictures of the other SWAPs.
Slime is SIMPLE to make, here's our ingredient list:
Liquid Starch (must be non-aerosol, liquid starch, I used Sta-Flo, found at Wal-Mart and Kroger.)
White or clear school glue (not Tacky glue!)
Water
Paint (in a color of your choosing, we chose Orange and Green Glow in the Dark Paint by Martha Stewart, found at Michael's). 
Depending on what you are doing with it, you may also need individual containers to place your slime after making it. 
We used jello shooter containers, purchased at Party City. There are 40 in a bag and they cost $3.99 a package. 
Step 1:
Take equal parts of glue and water and mix them together. Add paint until you get your desired color.
Then add the same amount of starch that you added of glue and water. The mix it all together. Tada-Slime.
To make 120 2.5oz containers of slime you will need 32 5oz containers of glue , 1.5 containers of Sta-Flow and water. We used about half a bottle of paint (we did 60 green and 60 orange).
Something's to note:
After a few days, the contents separate and you have to open the containers and pour off the excess fluid, you only have to do this once. 

Despite buying "Glow in the Dark" paint ours did not glow. Not sure why.
