Description
Create your own Under the Sea Ocean Slime for fun and imaginative playtime without using borax.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup clear or white school glue
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1–2 tbsp saline solution (contact lens solution with boric acid & sodium borate)
- Blue food coloring or liquid watercolor
- Glitter (blue, silver, iridescent)
- Small ocean-themed beads, shells, or fish confetti (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup of glue and 1/2 cup of water. Stir until the mixture is fully mixed and smooth.
- Add a few drops of blue food coloring or liquid watercolor to the glue mixture. Stir well until the color is evenly distributed throughout.
- Sprinkle in some glitter (choose from silver, iridescent, or blue) to give your slime a shimmering ocean effect. Mix until the glitter is evenly incorporated.
- Add 1/2 tsp of baking soda to the mixture. This will help firm the slime.
- Slowly add 1 tablespoon of saline solution while stirring the mixture. Keep adding a little more saline solution, stirring continuously, until the slime starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Once the slime begins to form, knead it with your hands until it becomes smooth, stretchy, and no longer sticky.
- If you would like to add small ocean-themed decorations, gently knead in the beads, fish confetti, or mini shells at this stage.
- Your Under the Sea Ocean Slime is ready to play with! Store any leftover slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh for next time.
Notes
- For a more intense ocean color, you can mix different shades of blue food coloring or add a touch of green.
- Experiment with different types of glitter to create unique effects in your slime, such as adding glow-in-the-dark glitter for a nighttime ocean vibe.
