Looking for a little magic this St. Patrick’s Day? Instead of chasing rainbows, bring the fun home with this easy and exciting slime recipe! With a little green and a touch of gold, kids will love making (and playing with) this sparkly, stretchy slime.
What You’ll Need:
4 oz. clear glue
4 oz. water
Green food colouring
Gold glitter
For the slime activator, choose one of these options based on what you have at home:
Borax Solution: 1 tsp Borax + 1 cup warm water
Contact Lens Solution & Baking Soda: ½ tsp baking soda + 1-2 tbsp contact lens solution (must contain boric acid)
Liquid Laundry Detergent: 1-2 tbsp liquid detergent (Tide, Gain, etc.)
How to Make It:
In a bowl, mix the clear glue and water until well combined.
Stir in a few drops of green food colouring and a generous sprinkle of gold glitter.
Slowly add your chosen slime activator, mixing as the slime starts to form.
If using Borax solution, add it gradually while stirring.
If using contact lens solution & baking soda, mix in the baking soda first, then add the contact lens solution a little at a time.
If using liquid detergent, add it slowly while stirring.
When the mixture thickens, knead it with your hands until smooth and stretchy.
Store your lucky slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh!
This hands-on activity is great for kids of all ages and makes a perfect St. Patrick’s Day treat. So grab your ingredients, get a little messy, and enjoy the fun of homemade slime!
