By: Sadie Raddatz

Everyone loves glow-in-the-dark items and gooey stuff. So this recipe combines the best of both worlds. It’s a cheap, easy way to entertain anyone, from little kids to teenagers. Everyone can enjoy glow-in-the-dark goo.

Materials:
(makes about 2 cups)
- 2 Elmer’s white glue bottles (4oz)
- 3-4 tablespoons glow-in-the-dark dark paint
- Neon food coloring
- 1 teaspoon borax
- 1/2 cup warm water
- A bowl

Instructions:
1. Pour the white Elmer’s glue into a bowl.
2. Fill the empty glue bottles with warm water, place the lids back on and shake the bottles (this will help remove any remaining glue inside the bottle and make it easy to measure your water).
3. Pour the watery glue into the bowl and mix with a spoon.
4. Add food coloring to your glue, any color you want.
5. Stir in the glow-in-the-dark the dark paint into your glue mixture.
6. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of warm water with 1 teaspoon of borax.
7. Mix the borax water and glue mixture together with a spoon. You can also  use your hands to fully mix together. The borax is what makes the solution slimey. If you want it to be a more runny solution; add less borax. The consistency will turn out.

This goo is not just good for Halloween, but anytime of the year. It could help relieve stress, entertain you when you're bored, or even be used just to play pranks on a friend. This is an all-around fun thing to make and have.
