Materials Needed
- 2 cups of white vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of xantham gum
- Food coloring
- Baking Soda
- A flat bottomed square container. We used a dish pan.
How to Make It
- Pour the vinegar into a bowl. Whisk the vinegar as you slowly sprinkle the xanthan gum over the surface of the vinegar.
- Add food coloring as you are whisking.
- Your evolving slime will still have a bunch of clumps of xanthan gum that haven't quite mixed into the solution yet. This is okay.
- Place the mixture in a refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
- Whisk the slime once again until it’s textures is nice and smooth.
- Line the bottom of your pan or wash basin with a full covering of baking soda.
- Pour the slime over the baking soda. Enjoy playing in the mucky bubbling swamp slime!
