O
nce you have gathered all the material, follow these steps. Make sure your mum or dad is watching over while you do this so that you can reach out to them when you need help. Step 1: Mixing the Glue
Step 4: Making it Magnetic
Mix one-third cup of the Glue provided in the kit with one-third cup of water. Stir the mixture well to mix it properly. Drop 6-8 drops of the Glow in Dark paint into the mixture.
Now that your slime is ready start adding the Magnetic powder in small quantities. You only need 1-2 tablespoon of the Magnetic powder and keep the rest for later purposes. Mix the powder well with the slime for a thorough consistency and leave it overnight for the slime to set.
Step 2: Mixing the Borax Take another plastic cup and fill it up with water. Mix 1 teaspoon of the Borax powder provided in the kit into the water. Stir it well.
Step 3: Making the Slime Start adding the Borax & Water solution into the Glue mixture in small quantities. Keep stirring well until you reach a slime (slightly thickened) consistency. You should be able to see the solution turning into a stretching gooey mixture. Now start folding the slime with your hands. Repeat this 20-30 times.
Step 5: See the Magic: Use the magnets provided in the kit to play with the slime. You can make the slime dance or eat up the magnets by bringing the magnets closer. Now turn off the lights and watch it dance with GLOW!!

Instructions •
O
nce you have gathered all the material, follow these steps. Make sure your mum or dad is watching over while you do this so that you can reach out to them when you need help. Step 1: Colouring In
d) After completing the use of one colour yarn close the thread with a simple knot in the back. e) Repeat this step with other colour and until all crossstitch blanks are filled.
Start with using sketch pens or Sharpies to decorate your carpet templates. You can use multiple contrasting colours to make it attractive. Fill in the areas without holes.
Step 4: Finishing the Corners
Step 2: Threading Needle You may require adult’s help in completing following steps. a) Choose any colour of thread and pass one end of the thread into the needle. b) Once the thread passes through the hole in the needle, tie a small knot on the other free end of the yarn. Do not tie both the ends of the thread together.
Use any colour to do the corner ties. Take a small piece of the yarn and fold it in the middle twice. Push the folded end through the corner hole and pass the free end through the loop to make a knot. Repeat this on all four corners.
Step 3: Making a Cross-Stitch a) Start from one edge of the carpet and take the needle through the holes in cross pattern. b) Once you complete the first cross-stitch go to the next holes. Please note that the next cross-stitch shall start from the nearest two holes of the first stitch so as to give it a continuous look. c) Leave a gap of four holes in a square shape if you would like to use a different colour to fill in later on.
Your very own Magic Carpet is ready to fly!
