U For Unicorn Slime – Get Crafty #BlogchatterA2Z

Getting crafty also means getting hands dirty and if we are getting them dirty then why not include something sensory too. Slime is hated by many adults but loved by every child. The sticky texture gives them a soothing feeling and a great play says my 7- year old.

I’ve bought varieties of slime over the past years and that too of good quality and also from brands but either they spoil within a week, or stink or grow fungus on them. Yup! True story! Also they are so pricey and do not last much. You can even find slime making kits these days but I’ve not tried them so far so can’t say how good they might be.

I wanted to experiment making slime and see if it turns out well. So we made a batch of slime almost 15 days ahead and it has definitely turned out good and still lasted. So let’s check out the supplies and get our hands sticky. I’ve also linked all the supplies as I bought most on them through Amazon.in.

Supplies
Elmer’s glue/transparent glue/slime glue 6oz
Baking soda 1/4th TSP
Water 2 tbsp
Pink and blue liquid food color
Chunky glitter
1.5 – 2 tbsps Contact solution
Bowl
Spoon

Let’s get started
1. Make sure to use a bowl a d spoon separately that might not be used much in the kitchen since glue and contact solution will be mixed in it. You can keep it separate in your art supplies.
2. Empty 6oz bottle of glue in the bowl and mix 2 tbsps water in it.
3. Now add 14th tsp baking soda in it and mix well. Make sure no lumps are left.
4. Add drops of food color depending on the shade of color you want. More drops of color will give you deeper shade but since we are trying to achieve colors of unicorn, add only one drop. Mix it well. We made two separate batches of slime, one pink and another blue.

5. Now add the chunky glitter. We chose the chunky one so that it will be more visible through the slime. Eira loved this idea. Try to use glitter of the same shade of food color as it looks much better. Mix it all.well.
6. Now it’s time for contact solution. Make sure to help your child here and do not leave unattended. Add 1.5 tbsps of contact solution to the mic and stir it vigorously. Contact solution is the element which will bind it all together and turn it into slime.
7. Check the slime to make sure the stickiness is not too much and that the slime does come off. If not then add the remaining 0.5 tbsp of contact solution to it andix it again.

By now you have two batches of slime. One pink and another blue. Mix half a portion of each color slime to get the unicorn color.

Your Unicorn slime is ready!
You can even make more colored slime like purple, green, yellow etc and mix it all together to get the desired unicorn colors. I made only two of the colors so that we can save on the supplies and make some more later.

Eira loved making it and enjoyed playing with it. She even created some slime art.

We have created a quick video while Eira was making it.
