I have to buy 3 gallons of school glue on my way home tonight
I haev a slime-making date w/ a middle school this week, huzzah!
(I love slime-making assembly days 
Re: I have to buy 3 gallons of school glue on my way home tonight
yeah, I get great looks at the store when I go on these shopping trips.
My last one involved:
helium balloon
fishing reel
eggs
crayons
Cotton balls
plaster
borax
I'm fairly sure they thought I was going to prank a house somewhere.
Explain please.
Egg dropping?
This was for a larger science event...the eggs were for egg drops
The balloon and the fishing reel went together, they were used to raise contraptions to the gym ceiling where you could yank the balloon away and drop the contraption.
The crayons were for marking each egg so I could verify teams hadn't swapped t a hard-boiled egg.
Plaster and borax were for a separate chemistry event--we were having them do chemistry to CSI-type figure out white-powders.
I actually am drawing a blank on what the cotton balls were for, unless they were part of what their robot-devices were supposed to pick up--I"m fairly sure that was the 3rd part of that event. (but I still ahve the shopping list on my computer here :-P)
If they colored it w/ food coloring (most people do), you're screwed--that *** stains.
Because of this, I never ever EVER use food coloring, I use tempra paints.
The ingredients are borax, elmers glue, and paint. If you add a LOT of water, the glue will re-soften (and the borax won't stain)--so you should be able to 'drown' it out of the carpet.
Then soap and water to remove any lingering paint.
(but they probably used food coloring. I don't know why everyone does, it sucks)
(I should add on cleaning it [I'm not even going to tell you how much slime I have removed from carpets over the years. FWIW, my dream job [before the company closed] involved me making, on average, 1,000 batches of slime a week w/ kids], if it's glow slime, you're also screwed.
You can clean it up and not SEE it--nothing there--yay, it's all out of the carpet.
But onc eyou turn out the light? glowslime ghosts. They never go away)
