Office Depot stores across metro Atlanta are hosting free, slime-making demonstrations nationwide at all 1,400 stores on Saturday (April 29) following the a slime craze that has captured the interest of children everywhere.

Office Depot and OfficeMax retail store associates will show customers how to make kid-friendly slime with special recipes for jumbo-colored, colored or extra-large colored versions using Elmer’s Glue, baking soda and contact lens solution.

(Note: Kids will help make the slime during the demonstrations, employees who are in charge of the demonstrations will give the slime away once done, but they cannot guarantee that every one will receive some.)
