Slime, it’s everywhere! This trend of making slime has gone viral. Not only is it appealing to elementary school age children, but it has really taken the middle school world by storm. In a world of electronics, this shiny, stretchy substance has kids mesmerized! We got in on the action and created 5 easy slime recipes! We’ve provided full instructions on how to make slime with glue and some great ideas on how to “dress up” your slime with lots of fun “add ins”!
- Measure out 1/2 cup of glue into a bowl.
- Add in 1/2 cup shaving cream (you really can add as much shaving cream as you would like. The more you add the “fluffier” your slime will be!)
- Mix together glue and shaving cream. Add in drops of food coloring until your desired color and mix. If you are planning to add in beads, glitter, etc, now is the time to mix those in as well.
- Slowly add in saline solution a little at a time and mix. The saline solution is what binds your ingredients and helps to make your slime “not sticky”, so keep adding until your slime pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Remove your slime from the bowl and knead and stretch until it is your desired consistency.

Aren’t we always looking for the rainbow after a rainy day. How fun to make this pretty green slime, or any color actually, and add in these brightly colored rainbow beads. As the slime is being stretched these just appear and are such a fun surprise!
All that glitters is gold, and this slime is just that! To make this slime we again, used the basic slime recipe and added in lots of gold glitter. This one ends up surprising you at the end of the mixing process, as the glitter really begins to sparkle! Another really fun twist on this recipe is to use gold glitter glue in place of the Elmer’s glue and glitter. This one looks like you struck gold!
This pretty blue slime just shines with all these stars. Using blue food coloring to mimic the sky, silver star confetti was sprinkled in make it twinkle. You could easily add in these fun star buttons in place of the confetti for a fun twist. The sky’s the limit!
