Slime is so fun to make and play with! Around here I have tons of amazing slime recipes that kids will love creating for a fun science experiment that brings out the creativity every time. I have also included some other fun ideas from other bloggers.
Before you get started with slime, you will need some ingredients.

- White school glue
– I always use GALLON SIZED GLUE. Tiny bottles do not produce a lot of slime and this is an addicting project. Go ahead and get the gallon size. - Liquid Starch – This can be impossible to find, so better to get online. I use liquid starch with all my slime ingredients, its easier for consistent results. While liquid starch is better for slime than borax by a long shot, please remember this is a SCIENCE experiment and adults should be present.
- Food coloring – I use icing coloring because it doesn’t thin the glue out. I do NOT recommend using gel coloring.
