June 12 "Magic Day"

So today is national Magic Day. My kids love magic. Grace asked to go to the magic shop every day we were at Disneyland. We even bought her one of those small magic tricks sets, that I promptly put up so the peices wouldn't get lost and we have never gotten it back down for her. I think I will do that today.

Here is a recipe for Magic Slime if you want to try it out with your kids, it's super easy.

Magic Slime

What You Need

Bowl
Measuring cups
Water
Cornstarch
Food coloring (optional)
Resealable plastic bag

What You Do

Pour ⅓ cup of water into the bowl. If you want to add food coloring, drip five drops into the water.

Measure ¾ cup of cornstarch and begin sprinkling it into the water, a little at a time, until the measuring cup is empty.

Let the concoction stand for three or four minutes.

Now reach a hand (or both!) into the concoction and press the slime into a hard ball. Open your hand and watch and feel the ball return to its liquid state!

Store your slime in a resealable bag. (Never pour slime down the drain. If you need to discard it, put it in the trash.)
