How to Make Your Own Slime in 2 Minutes

If were here for last week’s water beads activity, or the wall mural painting the week before, you know that I have a goal to do ONE out of the ordinary activity with my kids each week. This week we decided to do slime. I don’t know why I had it in my head that making slime would be this big ordeal with a big mess, because it wasn’t. We mixed it up in only a couple minutes, and were able to narrow it down to 2 ingredients.  We actually made the version using Borax as well, but I didn’t like the texture as well as this one:

How to Make Glitter SlimeThis glitter slime recipe  is SUPER easy to make and only requires 2 ingredients. Also tell you how to make Glow-in-the-dark slime

What you need:

Elmer’s Glitter Glue (5-6 oz)

Liquid starch – 1/2 Cup


At home with the kids? Instantly access any of these printable activity bundles to keep them learning!


How to Make it:

Pour your glue into your bowl and slowly start adding your starch. Mix in about a Tablespoon at a time and stir it around. Repeat until you get to your desired consistency. If you want it to be super sticky/slimy, use less starch. If you want it to be closer to gak, use more starch. I like to get it just to the point where it’s not sticky because it will still stretch, but it won’t get all over my kid’s clothes.

What we learned:

We actually did this activity 3 different days this week. The first day we did a more sticky/stretchy version. I made the mistake of not putting their art smocks on, and it stuck to their clothes. Trust me when I say it was hard to get out. I’m talking scrub-with-a-toothbrush (while the girls make disasters in the next room) kind of hard. I highly advise your children wear smocks (or if you don’t have any you can make one out of a kitchen garbage bag like we did for wall mural painting). The second day I used the full half cup of liquid starch and it wasn’t sticky at all. That’s how we will make it from now on 🙂

There’s lots of different things you can do with this sensory activity.

    Did you add some kind of glitter? My granddaughters would love this.

      You can definitely add glitter, but I bought Elmer’s glue that already had glitter in it 🙂
