Homemade slime seems to be all the rage lately, doesnt it?!
I can see why since the stuff is so amazingly awesome to play with!
How to Make Glitter Alphabet Slime
Exploring slime is an amazing sensory experience for kids!
Supplies Needed:
Step-by-step guide:
1.
Mix water with glue
Pour 1/2 cup of water into your large bowl.
Then pour 1/2 cup of Elmers Glue-All Multi-Purpose Glue into your bowl.
Stir the two liquids together until they are thoroughly mixed.
Add food coloring
Add a drop or two of your food coloring into your bowl and thoroughly mix it.
Choose any colour of your choice.
Since you are combining the color with white glue it will be a muted version of the color.
TIP: If you use the gel color you really only need to add a tiny bit.
Time for glitter
Add some fine glitter into your bowl and mix the solution together.
At our house we live by the saying glitter makes everything better so we add a lot!
In our pink slime pictured below we added both pink and purple fine glitter.
Mix in liquid starch.
Measure out 1/2 cup of liquid starch, pour it into your bowl and begin stirring.
Stir until you get stringy consistency.
Youll notice the slime start to form immediately as you stir.
Keep stirring as long as possible until you are left with a stringy slime consistency.
Now comes the fun part!
Use your hands to knead the slime for several minutes.
Pour in your beads
Before playing with your slime, pour your package of alphabet beads into your bowl.
Playing with your Glitter Alphabet Slime
Slime should never be consumed!
Children should always be supervised when making and playing with slime.
When my daughter played with her glitter alphabet slime, I left the activity completely open-ended.
I was surprised to see how she naturally gravitated towards the letter beads.
She pointed out and named letters all on her own.
