Six ways to make some awesome Christmas Slimes https://youtu.be/R8WBN3fJmwM Step 1: Preparing the Glue Mix Take a mixing bowl and pour 60 ml (1/4 cup) of glue and 60 ml (1/4 cup) of warm water in it. Stir it until it’s mixed to an even consistency and set this solution to the side to be used in later steps. Let’s call this solution as Solution-A.

Step 2: Preparing the Borax Mix Take another mixing bowl and fill it with 120 ml (1/2 cup) of warm water. To this mixing bowl add 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) of borax powder and stir until the borax powder completely dissolves. This is Solution-B.

Step 3: Making the Slime Slowly add small amounts (1/2 teaspoon) of the borax mixture (Solution-B) to the

glue mixture (Solution-B). Make sure to keep stirring the solution. Repeat this step 2-3 times until the solution turns into a loose slime. Take your loose slime and fold it 8-10 times to make sure all the ingredients are mixed well.

Santa Tips: To avoid your slime turning too stiff, add the Borax Solution slowly.

Step 4: Adding the fun Add 2 to 3 drops of food colouring to the slime and mix it together by folding the slime. Once the colour is mixed well add some sparkles and confetti to make it vibrant and rich.

Ta-dah! It’s ready. Store in a clear container & play as many times as you like. The fun never stops with slimes!

D. INSTRUCTIONS ASSEMBLING THE ALARM CASE: 1. Secure battery holder (Part 3) on the alarm platform using two screws.

Then install the connection plate (Part 7) and the buzzer.

2. Connect the black wires from the buzzer and the connection plate using a metal peg (Part 10) and a plastic peg (Part 9).

Similarly, connect the red wires from the battery holder and the buzzer.

Also connect the black wires from the connection plate and the battery holder.

3. Install the batteries. Place the battery cover on top and use a screw to fasten it. Check if all connections are correct by switching on the switch button. The buzzer should produce a buzzing sound. After testing, switch it off.

Your Intruder Alarm

4. Install the cover.

SETTING THE ALARM: 5. Cut a 50 cm length of string. Tie one end of the string to the trigger plate (Part 8). Tie the other end to the trigger plate holder (Part 5).

Testing the alarm function: Now insert the trigger plate to the connection plate. This will separate the two metal plates. Now check the function by turning on the switch. There should not be buzz sound as the connection plate are now being separated by the plastic trigger plate. Now pull out the trigger plate with string connected to it. The buzzer will produce a sound immediately as the two connection plates are now in touch and a close circuit is produced. You may now stop the buzz by switching it off or by inserting the trigger plate into the connection plate again.

6. Mount your alarm case to the door surface. Remarks: You will need adult's permission and supervision doing this. You may use the double adhesive tapes provided for this purpose.

At a similar height level to the alarm case just mounted, use a piece of the double-sided adhesive tape provided to mount the wall mount to the wall surface.

Snap the trigger plate holder to the wall mount.

Insert the trigger plate to the connection plate of the alarm case.
