Mr. Taranto was well and fully slimed by fifteen students, our three retiring teachers, and a number of parents.  Since everyone loved the slime so much, we are sharing the Wildcat slime recipe with you so you can have fun at home.  The ingredients are very simple: white glue, water, and borax.  The slime recipe we used is from About.com.

1. Pour the glue into the jar. If you have a big bottle of glue, you want 4 oz or 1/2 cup of glue.
2. Fill the empty glue bottle with water and stir it into the glue (or add 1/2 cup of water).
3. If desired, add food coloring. Otherwise, the slime will be an opaque white.
4. In a separate container, mix one cup (240 ml) of water into the bowl and add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of borax powder.
5. Slowly stir the glue mixture into the bowl of borax solution.
6. Place the slime that forms into your hands and knead until it feels dry. (Don't worry about the excess water remaining in the bowl.)
7. The more the slime is played with, the firmer and less sticky it will become.
8. Have fun!
9. Store your slime in a seal bag in the fridge (otherwise it will develop mold).
