"This is the best set of instructions to make stretchy and fluffy slime. I used this recipe for just one batch of fluffy slime to start, and ended up making 6 batches. Just warning you, one batch starts out looking extremely huge, but if you put the slime in a container and then take it out and play with it, it will deflate to maybe fit in a large container. Love this recipe!"
