There’s just soooo much candy around! So, instead of getting the boys all crazy sugared up with a ton more candy, we attempted to make homemade slime! Spoiler alert: it worked, and it was so much fun! There are ton of recipes out there! However, for the one we made, I had to make 2 recipes because, of course, my guys didn’t agree on one color slime!

Supplies:

Directions:

  • Put glue in a tub.
  • Add in 1 cup of hot water.
  • Add in your food coloring and glitter.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • In a separate container, dissolve 3 teaspoons of Borax in 2 cups of hot water.
  • Slowly add the water into the glue mixture and stir together.
  • It will goop together almost immediately.
  • You may not need all the water, so pour slowly.
  • Once it’s mostly gooped up, begin mixing with your hands. (This is the fun part!)
  • We started with red and black food coloring, because that’s all I had, and it turned more into pink and purple, which was pretty perfect for Valentine’s Day.
  • As you can see, the slime is a HUGE HIT.

My family loved making this slime recipe and I hope your family will too! Have fun getting messy!
