Mixing glue, water, and activator into a stretchy, squishy slime, then customizing it with glitter, foam beads, or color — a gloriously messy chemistry-flavored craft that kids love to make and parents love to watch (from a safe distance).

The Essentials

Steps

  • Pour glue into a bowl and add a few drops of food coloring, then stir well.
  • Slowly mix in liquid starch or a saline-and-baking-soda activator, stirring as you go.
  • Once it starts pulling away from the bowl, knead it with your hands until it stops sticking.
  • Add glitter, foam beads, or scent a little at a time and knead again until evenly mixed.

Tips

  • Add the activator gradually so the slime does not turn rubbery or overly stiff.
  • Cover surfaces with a tablecloth or tray, since spills can be hard to clean off fabric.
  • Store finished slime in an airtight container to keep it from drying out between play sessions.
  • Wash hands well afterward, since some activators can mildly irritate sensitive skin.
