Ocean Slime
Using 3 simple ingredients, make your very own ocean slime for kids!
Servings: 1 container
Cost: $6
Equipment
- 1 set of mixing bowls and spoons I use a dedicated set for crafting and making slime
Ingredients
- 6 oz school glue you can use clear glue, glitter glue or metallic glue. I just used the whole bottle since it's a smaller bottle and batch.
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1½ tbsp contact solution
- extras like sea animal toys or glitter If using clear glue you'll want to add food coloring.
Instructions
- Add your contact solution and baking soda to a mixing bowl.
- Then add your glue. If you're using a bulk container you'll use ¾c of glue, or you can use a 6oz bottle and just use the whole bottle.
- Stir to combine. You'll want to stir for several minutes.
- Once the slime is mostly combined, remove from the bowl and knead with your hands. You can stretch and pull with your hands or knead on the counter.
- Once you're done playing with the slime, add it to an airtight container to store.
Notes
You can double or triple this recipe to make a larger batch! When making a small batch I typically use the entire bottle of glue. If you're making large amounts you may want to start buying glue in bulk.
There hits a point in the kneading where I'm convinced I won't ever get this off my counter. Keep going! That's usually right before it begins to stick together and it will clean itself off the surface.
Safety note reminder- slime is not edible. Use your best judgement to decide if. your child is ready to handle slime, and supervise them while playing with it.
