We love slime, and I am always looking for new and fun ways to make it. Today, we tried making slime without borax, and the results were just too cool! Read on for the easy tutorial.
Glow-in-the-Dark Slime Recipe
- 8 oz of school glue
- 4-8 oz of of liquid starch
- 1 teaspoon of neon paint
You will also need:
- Bowls
- A blacklight
Method
- Begin by combining 1 cup of school glue with 1 teaspoon of neon paint in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir until combined.
- Slowly begin to add liquid starch and mix, slowly adding more starch and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the slime is formed remove it from the bowl and knead it with clean, dry hands.
- After a bit of mixing and kneading you will be left with super glowing slime!
- Repeat the above steps for each color of slime that you wish to make.
Glowing Slime Play
- We added play tools, eye balls, craft foam, and creepy-crawlies to our slime.
- Rosie and Jewel had so much fun mucking around and played and played.
Troubleshooting:
- Is your slime too sticky? Add a little more starch and knead.
- Is your slime too rubbery? OOPS! You added too much starch. No biggie. Just add a little glue to your slime and knead it in!
Tips & Storage:
- Store your slime in an airtight container, and it can be used again & again!
- The glowing paint the we use in our activities can be purchased on Amazon here.
- Liquid starch can be hard to find in stores. We get ours online here.
- For the best effect I recommend using a blacklight for this activity. You can use these flashlights or a blacklight fixture. My kids love using the flashlights!
