Whether you're seeking creative classroom activities, engaging indoor entertainment for those rainy days, or in need of calming sensory play, slime offers a unique way to unwind and explore your creativity.
Supplies
1 cup of white Elmers’s glue
1 teaspoon of Borax
1 cup of water
Paint or food colouring (as much or as little as you want!)
2 to 4 cups of shaving cream
Sparkles
Bowl
Spoon
Storage container
Step 1: In a separate container from your slime bowl, make the Borax mixture by combining:
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon Borax
Mix until the Borax is dissolved in water
Step 2: Add glue to the slime bowl (different from your Borax bowl!).
Step 3: Add 1 teaspoon of the Borax mixture to the glue and stir. Add additional Borax mix until you have the consistency you would like.
Step 4: Add a few drops of food colouring and mix.
Tip: You can also add essential oil for a calming or fun smell!
Step 5: Add the shaving cream! Now squish, mix, and knead until the mixture isn’t sticky.
Step 6: Add the sparkles and mix some more.
Storage: Keep in a sealed container or Ziplock bag. The fluffiness of the shaving cream will dissipate in a day or so.
