How to Make Gingerbread Homemade Slime
Ingredients:
- Airtight container
- 5 oz bottle of clear glue
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp contact solution
- Brown glitter
- Gold glitter
- Gingerbread oil
- Brown acrylic paint
- Small bowl
Directions:
In a bowl, pour the entire 5 oz bottle of clear glue. Then, add in ½ cup of water.
Add in a bit of brown acrylic paint and stir, then add a few drops of gingerbread oil and stir again.
Mix in the glitter of your choice and stir. We did a mixture of mostly brown with a bit of gold, but you can get creative with the ratio!
Add in ½ tsp baking soda and stir.
Add 1 tbsp contact solution. The slime will instantly begin to form as you mix it.
In the beginning, your homemade slime will be STICKY! Don’t panic; just knead the slime until it’s no longer sticky and becomes a slime texture.
Store in an airtight container until ready to use (and any time not in use).
Now comes the fun part — kids get to play with their slime! Just be sure to keep it stored in a sealed container when not in use to keep it from drying out too quickly. It should last several days if you do this. (Hint: Refrigerate your slime to make it last weeks, possibly even up to a month.) It’s crazy how many hours Slime will keep kids of all ages occupied, and it’s a perfect indoor activity on those chilly winter days when kids are stuck inside and bored!
