It’s slime time! Ella and Annie have come up with five creative ways to enhance slime. Slime is super easy to make. There are many ways to enhance your basic slime recipe for endless fun! My kids play with the slime at least 3 times a day; there is just something about the slimey, squishy texture that keeps them glued (no pun intended) to this craft.
In a medium bowl combine ½ cup glue with ½ cup water. Mix until glue and water are thoroughly combined. Add a generous amount of iridescent glitter and mix. Mix in the ½ cup liquid starch last. Almost immediately the slime begins to form. Keep stirring until the water absorbs. When the slime becomes too difficult to stir, knead the slime with your hands. Let slime sit for a few minutes before play. Add the snowflake jewels to the sparkling snow slime for some winter fun!

In a medium bowl combine ½ cup glue with ½ cup water. Mix until glue and water are thoroughly combined. Add several drops of neon green food coloring (or whichever color you choose). Mix until completely combined. Mix in the ½ cup liquid starch and stir. Once water has been absorbed, knead slime. Let slime rest for a few minutes before playing with it. When ready to play add the colorful googly eyes for a monsterly good time!

In three medium bowls combine ½ cup glue with ½ cup water. Mix until glue and water are thoroughly combined. For the colors we chose pink, purple and blue. Add several drops of food coloring, one color in each bowl, mix until combined. Stir in the ½ cup of liquid starch to each bowl and mix until slime begins to form and the water is absorbed. Knead the slime for a few minutes and set aside to rest. Pull one small piece from each color you made. Stretch the slime out and lay next to each other. Gently press to connect the colors. The slime will automatically join together (this is super cool!). Now add the unicorn porcupines to the slime and play!

In four medium bowls combine ½ cup glue with ½ cup water. Mix until glue and water are thoroughly combined. For the colors we chose red, yellow, green and blue. Add several drops of food coloring, one color in each bowl, mix until combined. Stir in the ½ cup of liquid starch to each bowl and mix until slime begins to form and the water is absorbed. Knead the slime for a few minutes and set aside to rest. Pull one small piece from each color you made. Stretch the slime out and lay next to each other. Gently press to connect the colors. What was really neat about this slime, is that is started to look like tie dye after a few minutes of playing. Rainbow slime is a great way to teach primary colors!
Make sure to store slime for continuous play. We recommend these short jars. They are the perfect size and have lids to secure slime in jar. After storing slime it is normal for a little water to be in jar the next time you go to use it.
