Southeast Linn Community Center and Lisbon Public Library hosted a number of craft activities on Wednesday, March 19, as part of spring break activities.

Attendees had the chance to paint, play with Legos, fight with ping pong shooters or play with ooblek or make their own slime to take home. For some attendees the draw was definitely the slime table.

“It’s definitely what was the selling point to get us here today,” said one parent.

Mixing clear glue, cornstarch, food coloring and a little saline solution gets the right consistency for a slime.

Some attendees had one color in mind.

Others wanted multiple colors in their slime, as well as glitter.

Library director Elizabeth Hoover de Galvez helped by getting the right amount of glue to start with and allowed participants to mix the contents together.

“You may have to get to working with the slime with your hands to help it get the right consistency,” Hoover de Galvez said.

Ooblek is a mixture of water and cornstarch, that has the consistency of both depending on how it is interacted with. Dip your fingers in and it rolls off like a liquid, but try to punch it, it acts more like a solid.
