How to Make Green Martian Slime

This wonderful goo is made by mixing equal parts of liquid starch and white school glue - a perfect project for your Galaxy Gazing Sleepover Party. The end product will be similar to the commercially available product Silly Putty.

3/4 cup liquid starch
Disposable container like one from whipped topping
Green food coloring (or others you will need to get your desired color)
1 bottle of white school glue (7 ounces)
Plastic spoon
Zipper-seal snack bags or plastic eggs

Step One: Place the liquid starch into the plastic container. Stir in 7 to 8 drops of food coloring; use more or less, depending on the shade you want.

Step Two: Slowly pour the glue into the starch, stirring constantly with the plastic spoon. The glue will thicken and become ropey.

Step Three: Knead the mixture with your hands (let all the guests take turns) until all the liquid starch is absorbed. Let the mixture stand for five minutes.

Step Four: Turn the alien slime onto a smooth countertop or tabletop and knead again until it is smooth.

Step Five: Break off a blob for everyone. Play with it.

Step Six: Give each guest a zipper-seal snack bag or a plastic egg to store his or her slime in.

Warning: Place the slime only on smooth countertops, tabletops. or floors. Slime will stick to paper, fabric and carpet.
