The gooey craft most resembles Gak, but those not familiar with that popular 90s toy might compare it to a more slippery Silly Putty. And it couldn’t be easier to make. Yes, you’ll probably need to buy a few ingredients: white school glue (like Elmer’s), liquid starch, and food coloring. But in such a saturated market (kids are even selling the stuff at school!), you’ll need some truly creative recipes to stand out. Here, three kinds of slime you may not have seen yet. 1. Pour glue into a medium bowl. Add pigment and stir until fully incorporated. 2. Add liquid starch and stir until clumpy. 3. Pick up and knead with your hands until firm.

For instance, if you are in a class, you may want to ask a question and discuss it before you introduce yourself. Or, if you are online, you may want to reach out to someone for their opinion about something they seem to be an expert at, and introduce yourself in the process. Don’t skip introducing yourself! Giving them your name helps you stand out in their mind from everyone else, and they will be more likely to remember who you are and come to you next time they need to discuss something. Plus, they will feel more comfortable around you compared to other people who they have not been introduced to, which is an important part of how to make friends.

They will offer to share their paint or show another kid how to do something, and it is a great tactic to make someone like you. Everyone wants to get something of value, and when they get it from someone else, a level of trust is built between them and that person, which is important for any relationship, especially a friendship. Therefore, anytime you see an opportunity to offer something take it. It could be as simple as a pen or it could be as big as a ride. Nothings too small. If they need something, whatever they receive to fill that need is valuable.
