Are you ready to make eraser slime?

Eraser Slime Recipe

• 1 cup of Elmers PVA glue (no substitutions) 
• 1 cup of corn starch
• 1/2 tsp baking Soda
• Saline solution (with boric acid OR sodium borate) 
• Food coloring (optional)

Method

• Begin by combining equal parts of Elmers PVA glue & corn starch into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the baking soda & mix well.
• Add 1 drop of food coloring if color is desired.  Too much will cause the eraser slime to leave marks behind. 

• We used one drop of neon pink food coloring, and that gave us the perfect "eraser pink" color.
• Now, slowly begin to add saline solution a drop at a time and mix, slowly adding more solution and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.

• If the slime is too sticky add a bit more saline solution & mix it in.

• After a bit more mixing & kneading you will have super stretchy, eraser slime!
• This slime turned out so fun! It is ultra stretchy rather than oozy, and it really erases! 

Too cool, am I right?

My girls thought it was so cool that they asked to make some for their classes.  Hmm. Maybe we will give out eraser slime valentines.  So fun!

Tips & Storage:

• Store your slime in an air-tight container between uses & it can be used again & again!
• For this recipe it is important to use Elmers school glue.  Using a different brand of white glue may yield different results.  
• We buy our Elmers glue in bulk on Amazon here.
• For this recipe you can use eye drops or contact solution as long as it contains boric acid or .  If it does not contain these ingredients the slime will not work.
• The trick to getting the right consistency with this slime is to add saline solution slowly & mix.
• The saline solution that we used can be purchased here.
• If the slime is too runny/sticky you need more saline solution.
