A Few Hints & Tips Before You Start:

  • Liquid starch is not liquid laundry detergent. If liquid starch, such as Sta-Flo, is not available where you are, you might prefer this  recipe with borax or you could try this great fluffy slime recipe.
  • Different glues, starches and even the amount of colouring you use in your slime can effect the final outcome. We prefer Elmers glue for best results with this recipe.
  • If your slime is too sticky, try adding a tiny bit more liquid starch. If it is too firm or hard, add a little more glue.
  • Slime that sticks slightly to your hands is more likely to have a nice stretchy, slime consistency.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Elmers washable, clear school glue – available here
  • ½ cup blue glitter Elmers glue
 – available here
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 
1/2 cup Liquid Starch – available here
  • Glitter: silver and blue – available here
  • Blue liquid food colouring
  • Mini ocean Animals (available here) or ocean themed confetti (try this one)
