This Silver and Gold Slime Tutorial will teach you how to make the sparkliest slime around. If your kids are anything like mine, then sparkles and glitter are all the rage. Things can never have too much sparkle. This slime recipe is easy to make with just a few basic ingredients, thanks to glitter glue. That’s right, the glue has already been glittered for you! That means you no longer have to deal with glitter on your floor, on your table, on your chairs, basically everywhere.

This Silver and Gold Slime Tutorial will teach you how to make the sparkliest slime around! It is super easy to make and your kids will love it! #slime #slimerecipe #kidsactivities


Silver and Gold Slime Tutorial

This slime is not edible. Please supervise your kids when making slime and have them wash their hands when they are done playing.

Supplies needed to make Sliver and Gold Slime:

For gold slime:

Small bowl
1  5 oz bottle of Elmer’s Gold Glue
½ cup water
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp contact solution

For silver slime:

Small bowl
1  5 oz bottle of Elmer’s Silver Glue
½ cup water
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp contact solution

Directions to make Silver and Gold Slime: 

You will need to make the silver and gold slime separately. Luckily, the process is exactly the same. I will take you through the steps to make each color of slime in this silver and gold slime tutorial.

Pour the entire bottle of Elmer’s Gold Glue into a small bowl.

Next, add in ½ cup of water and ½ teaspoon of baking soda to the glue and stir.

Then, add 1 tablespoon of contact solution. This will cause the slime to begin to form. The slime will be STICKY! But don’t panic. Keep mixing the solution into the slime mixture until the slime starts to pull away from the bowl. This may take longer than you think. Just keep mixing and kneading the slime until it is no longer sticky. Set the gold slime aside.

Now it is time to repeat the process to make your silver slime.

Pour the entire bottle of Elmer’s Silver Glue into a small bowl.

Add in ½ cup of water and ½ teaspoon of baking soda to the sliver glue and stir.

Then, add 1 tablespoon of contact solution. This will cause the sliver slime to start to form. It will be STICKY! Keep mixing the solution into the slime mixture until the sliver slime starts to pull away from the bowl. Then, keep mixing and kneading the slime until it is no longer sticky.

You will now have two colors of slime – sparkly gold and sparkly silver. If your kids want to stop here they can. Each color is cool enough on it’s own.

But when the two colors of slime are swirled together, the real magic happens!

The two colors combine to make a rich looking slime that changes color as you play with it and turn it in your hands.

Eventually, the colors will mix completely, leaving  you with a shimmery slime sure to delight your kids.

This slime can be stored in an airtight container if your kids don’t want to play with it right away. After noticing my kids leaving slime everywhere and finding lots of messes, I purchased these containers and they have been a life saver.


Try KiwiCo

Looking for more fun activities to do with your kids? I highly recommend KiwiCo, which you can enjoy no matter the weather. As a former teacher, I was really impressed with the quality of materials found in KiwiCo.

Some moms have told me that they want to do activities like I do on Mess For Less with their kids, but they just don’t have to the time to go buy all the supplies and prepare them for the activity. KiwiCo is the perfect solution. Every month your KiwiCo will focus on a particular theme like Colors, Dinosaurs or Gardening. KiwiCo offer a variety of projects ranging from crafts, imaginative play, science experiments and more.
