I can’t believe this slime craze is still happening. I feel like it’s been a while since it exploded, and we were really late on the slime band wagon. But we are still finding it difficult to find glue around here, because everyone seems to be buying it in bulk to make SLIME! And here we are, doing the same thing! This recipe is the best slime recipe I’ve found so far. It makes the best slime, that doesn’t lose its consistency for a long time. (As long as you keep it in an airtight container.)
And we’ve found, through trial and error, although the chunky glitter slime is nice and sparkly and has a fun crunchy consistency, we like using fine glitter better. Because, it’s less messy, doesn’t really shed glitter and the consistency is nice and well, SLIMY.
I also love using clear glue because we can do stuff like this:
All in all, there definitely is something cool about slime. It crackles and snaps. It oozes between your fingers. And it’s kind of mesmerizing. I totally get it. I totally get why kids like it! And making it is the funnest part of all.

*Make sure to store your slime in an airtight container so you can reuse it over and over again. I’ve been using these. They’re also good for snack prepping...
