Want to make slime without glue? It’s easy!

Tired of the kids begging to create homemade slime?

Yeah, me too.

Eventually, I caved to the pressure and learned the basics of slime science.

I tried a few different recipes and several different ways.

Some recipes were incredibly easy.

A few were a much more difficult than necessary.

One or two slime experiments were damn gross.

Here are my favorites.
