    For many, it was really fun playing with glue as a kid. Sticking stuffs everywhere and also the feel of gooey slimes. Dave Hax took that even to the next level by magnetizing them! Also, his solution of slime will not stick onto everything. Like everything you could ever imagine of playing fun glue!
    It is very simple. All you need is white glue (PVA glue, that we often call Aika in Bangladesh), Borax powder (Good detergent might work too, but your Mom might not happy about it. Borax is easy to buy from pharmacy)and lastly some Iron Fillings (You can get those from Hardware stores or steel cutting workshops). All of these are pretty much cheap, or even to come by without spending any money.
    Make Borax and water solution, then pour a bit in the glue(Be sure to use plenty amount of glue!). Soon you will see gooey sticky glue turning into doughy slime. Though not as stable as flour dough. But fun enough! Then mixing some iron fillings will magnetize it. More the fillings, more attractive it will be to the magnets. Also more powerful magnets you will use, more movable the slime will be. Just make sure, don’t get too close or the slime might stick to the magnet. (PS – keeping the solution for too long, might get the iron filling rusty and turn it weird brownlooking you know what…)
    Haven fun!
