GALAXY SLIME https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hzq3EXbb1o
There are no kits provided for this project, but the slime recipe with needed supplies is listed below:
------------------------------------------------
Slime Recipe
- 1/4 cup Elmer's glue (I often use the white glue, but for galaxy or glitter slime, it’s definitely worth the effort to find clear glue for the best results)
- 1/8 cup water (room temperature)
- 1/8 cup liquid starch (I have used both Sta-Flo and Linit brands with success)
- Hand lotion, any brand (trust me – this helps to make the softest, smoothest, loveliest slime!)
- Gel food coloring (I used the Good Cooking brand gourmet Liqua-gel food coloring which I bought on Amazon.com, using blues, purples, pinks, and black). WARNING: food coloring will stain clothing/carpets, so proceed with caution!
- Extra fine craft glitter (I purchased some silver and purple glitter on Amazon.com, but I also found extra fine glitter in Michael’s Craft Store)
Additional items
- Bowls for mixing ingredients in (I used paper bowls with a coating; you can also use plastic bowls if available)
- Plastic spoons or craft sticks for mixing
- Small plastic cups for pre-measured ingredients (I generally prefer to pre-measure ingredients for my scientists to help the flow of the project so that we have more time for enjoying the product of our experiment)
- No-stick aluminum foil (I wanted a surface that the kids could play with and the slime wouldn’t stick to)
