Kids Slime making has been around for years but recently has been rediscovered and kids around the country are making all sorts of fun slime to play with.  To make a safe slime be sure to use the right materials like the recipes available in the Slimed DIY Book filled with great ideas. 


Kids slime is always made using glue and other items found around the house. Once you have the basic slime recipe you can add additional items to your slime to make fluffy slime, glitter slime, colored slime and more. 

 Fluffy slime is done by adding shaving cream or hand foaming soap. Colored slimed is created by adding food coloring, liquid paints or other safe coloring ingredients.  The Slimed DIY book offers many different ways to create slime using laundry detergent or liquid starch. You can also Google or look on YouTube for Free ideas on making slime but be careful to use ingredients that are safe for the kids.
