Read step by step instructions after the video.

This formula for green slime comes from our friend Professor Figgy. Tools and materials are available at grocery and crafts stores. To make a fluorescent variation, replace the water being used to make your two solutions (one with the glue and one with the Borax) with Glow Water.

As an alternative, try experimenting with our Fluffy Slime (Borax-free solution).
