How to make slushie slime
This easy recipe starts off like many basic slime recipes. To make this crispy slime recipe, pour the entire 5 oz bottle of clear glue in a mixing bowl.
Next, add in ½ cup of water.
Then add in ½ teaspoon baking soda and stir together.
Add 1 tablespoon contact solution. It will instantly begin to form.
Drop a few colors of red food coloring. Stir to mix.
Next, add in the slushie beads or plastic pellets. The mixture will be STICKY! Don’t panic! Simply mix the solution in the bowl until it starts to form.
Knead the ingredients in the slime until it is no longer sticky. This fun slime recipe can be stored in an airtight container.
Note: After the slime sits for a bit, the foam beads will rise to the top and the slime will settle to the bottom. This is normal - just mix it and it will go back together. Kids will think that part is super cool.
As a mom who has kids who are obsessed with slime and sensory play, I do have some advice on how to keep the stuff from getting everywhere. I have found slime on carpets, sofas, clothes, the cat (don't ask!).
Make sure kids are in a "slime approved" area when playing. For us, this is typically at a table. This keeps the slime for slipping out of their hands and onto a rug when they are stretching it.
Another tip is to make sure the container for the slime is always within reach of where they are playing. If not, kids will leave the slime wherever they are working when they are done. Having the container nearby makes it easy for them to remember to put it away.
Hopefully these tips save your sanity and your kids have fun with this saline solution slime recipe.
