You're listening to Brainzon from American Public Media, we're serious about being curious.

I'm Molly Bloom.

There's an interesting trend happening right now in kitchens, at schools, and all over

YouTube.

Kids everywhere are making homemade slime.

That stretchy, really, slurpy stuff.

To make it, you just need a few simple things, like laundry detergent and elmer's glue.

In fact, we've got a video showing you one recipe at brainzon.org.

Maybe you already know about this stuff, or maybe you don't.

But a lot of our listeners are way into it.

Well slime is sticky, stretchy, squishy, slimy.

The time is a stretchy, gooey substance.

Imagine taffy, but you can play with it, and it's much more stretchy.

It's slime.

How is it not gross?

It's so cool to actually get spread across, and I like turn it over and over.

It looks so cool, and you can add different colors and sparkles to it.

It's really fun to play with.

And they are slime-up-sessed.

Today on Brainzon, we are also slime-up-sessed.
