Make Your Own Slime!
I've got to be honest....I've been putting off slime for as long as humanly possible as, well, it's slime and slimy and I just didn't really want it all over our house. But alas .... our 6 year old really wanted to make some. I have to say, it was super easy, really fun and if you make it just right, it isn't super sticky at all! We've made just about every colour under the rainbow now. The tactile play is amazing. There is also measuring, patience and sharing involved. Check, check, check! A nice little afternoon activity for the littles that is super fun and also educational.
We've tried a couple of recipes and this is the best one we think!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 (4-ounce) bottles washable school glue, such as Elmer's
- 1 to 2 drops liquid food colouring (optional)
- 1/4 cup glitter (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
-
2 to 3 tablespoons saline solution (i.e., contact lens solution) - get one that includes borate
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Color the glue (optional): Pour the glue into a medium bowl. Stir in the food colouring and glitter, if desired. This mixture doesn't need to be homogeneous, as you'll mix it even more after adding the baking soda.
-
Add the baking soda: Add the baking soda to the glue mixture and stir until smooth.
-
Add the contact lens solution: Pour in 2 tablespoons of the contact lens solution and stir slowly. The mixture should begin to harden and/or becoming stringy.
-
Mix, mix, mix: Continue mixing slowly until a ball of slime forms.
-
Let it sit: Let the slime sit for 3 minutes (have your little ones count to 180 ;) ) and then the slime should be ready!
Options!
Hidden Figures: Fold small figures or cars into the slime and ask your children to find them.
Polka-Dot Slime: Fold 10 to 15 soft pom-poms into clear slime (no coloring, no glitter)
Cut-and-Measure Slime: Provide your kids with a metal or plastic ruler and kid-safe scissors. See who can stretch their slime the furthest.
RECIPE NOTES
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Glitter glue slime: Glitter glue is a wonderful way to add glitter to your slime and it is much less messy if you can find it. Skip the optional glitter called for here if using glitter glue.
Have fun everyone!!!
