SPECIAL SLIME RECIPES

Add around 2 tablespoons of iron oxide powder to your slime mixture and mix well. A regular magnet will not normally be strong enough to move the slime, but a neodymium (rare earth) magnet can do the job. However, if the slime is runny enough, a regular magnet will get it to move a little. Be very cautious using the iron powder and neodymium magnet. Neodymium magnets are incredibly strong and not for young children, since they can chip and spark if not handled carefully. Adult supervision is required. The slime will move around and follow the magnet when it is moved.

YOU NEED >> 1 cup warm water

• 4 ounces clear non-toxic liquid glue (you can use white glue, but the slime will be opaque)

• 3 tablespoons glow in the dark craft paint (or 1 teaspoon glow powder)

• 2 teaspoons borax (sodium tetraborate or sodium borate, not boric acid)

​​

1.  Stir the glue and 1/2 cup of the warm water together until the mixture is uniform.

2. Add the glow paint (or whatever glow product you’re using) to the glue mixture.

3. In a separate container, dissolve the 2 teaspoons borax in 1/2 cup warm water. It’s fine if it doesn’t all dissolve.

4. Stir the borax solution into the glue mixture. Use your hands or a spoon to mix the ingredients together to make the glowing slime. You may have excess liquid, which you can discard.

5. Glow products store light and release it slowly, so expose the slime to sunlight or bright lights to see it glow in the dark. Store the slime in a sealed container when you’re not using it to make it last up to a couple of weeks. 

This slime has a cosmic outer space look to it. It uses liquid water colors, such as purple, magenta, and teal added to your basic slime mix. Adjust the colors and glitter to look like a galaxy filled with stars. We suggest using clear glue with gold and silver glitter. Add some stars to make your slime extra galaxy.

This very colorful version looks like the name. You make basic slime, but form separate strands in different colors. The colors needed are pink, blue, green, and yellow. Once completed, the colored slime strands can be braided together as a rope and then shaped in any form you like. There is a "special" shape kids call "Unicorn Slime Poop". Just use your imagination on how to shape it.
