Megan’s Safe and Sparkly Slime

For a safe and sparkly alternative to Elmer’s traditional slime recipe, swap out the regular glue for clear glue and follow the recipe below:

  • 1/2 Tbsp of baking soda
  • 1 1⁄2 Tbsp of contact lens solution
  • 5 fl oz Elmer’s Clear Glue
  • Food coloring (as desired)
  • Glitter (as desired)

Here’s what you do:

  1. Find a bowl, cup, or plate to mix your slime in.
  2. Pour out the entire contents of a 5 oz Elmer’s Clear Glue bottle into the bowl.
  3. Add 1⁄2 Tbsp of baking soda and mix.
  4. Add your choice of food coloring and glitter and mix.
  5. Add 1 Tbsp of contact solution.
  6. Mix until slime forms and it begins to get harder to mix.
  7. Take the slime out and begin kneading with both of your hands.
  8. If needed, add 1⁄4 TBSP Contact solution to make the slime less sticky.

Groundhog Story Time

This week we are celebrating Groundhog Day! First of all, what is a groundhog? Maybe you have never seen one before.

A groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, is a large rodent. It lives in burrows in the ground and hibernates during the winter. You can often see groundhogs that live near the grain elevators in Tekamah! Ask Miss Megan about them; she sees them a lot.

In the United States and Canada, Groundhog Day is celebrated every year on February 2nd. Legend says if the groundhog emerges from his burrow and sees his shadow because it is sunny, winter will last 6 more weeks. If he doesn’t see his shadow because it is cloudy, spring will arrive early.

A famous groundhog named Punxatawny Phil helps with the celebration in the Pennsylvania every year.

We hope you will enjoy our groundhog stories and fun craft!
