Squishy, Slimey, Squelchy Halloween Monster Slime (Only 3 Ingredients!)
Personally, I love the idea of slime... but I have mixed feelings about the mess that it entails. Recently, I was sent a copy of The Slime Book to review and I jumped on the opportunity. 40 easy slime recipes all in one book? Count me in.
Authors Stacey and Jennifer share a ton of fun ideas, but with Halloween approaching, the orange Metamucil slime recipe caught my eye. I added some googly eyes to their simple 2 ingredient recipe and boom. Then, boom. Instant slimey Halloween monster goodness.
