 Well with only 13 more days until Halloween the Brainerd Public Library taught kids how to make their very own spooky Halloween slime. Our Logan Gaye has more on this spooky project with this week's community spotlight. With Halloween being around the corner making spooky Halloween slime was a perfect way for kids to get into the Halloween spirit. Kids always love Halloween this time of the year so slime it's kind of gross gross to touch so that's a perfect time of year to do something like that. This slime was pretty simple to make using common household items. Super easy although main ingredient that makes it all come together is borax which is just a laundry detergent and you only need a teaspoon of that and so you don't need a lot of that and then the other way it's just water and then you can put some food coloring in and then regular good old Elmer's glue. The kids are able to see that with the right imagination some items can have numerous uses. I'm sort of making the slime using your hands just seeing how it makes because glue you expect to stick but this mixed with the borax it just sort of liquefied and makes slime. Making the slime was a perfect way for kids to have fun and be creative. I mixed a lot of colors in it and then it turned out this really pretty sort of magenta color and I was sort of experimenting with that to see like is it going to turn out red is it going to turn out more blue what is it going to turn out. We always want to get kids thinking and doing something outside of the box so we thought it would be fun to make slime so that way they could use some ingredients do some measuring combining kind of things and making something that would be really fun. The Brainer Library will host an event for Thanksgiving on November 21st in Brainerd Logan Gay Lakeland News.
