Make Easy Homemade Space Slime in Minutes!
Glow in the dark space slime sensory play
There are so many awesome ways to play with slime! We have quick and easy recipes for Flubber, Sand Slime, Soap Slime, Goop, and our Traditional Slime. We also have learned a little bit about the science behind the slime {younger kids version}! Our newest slime uses our sand slime recipe but instead of beach sand we used colored craft sand. Science and sensory play all in one easy activity.
Grab our super simple traditional slime recipe to get started.
ingredients: glue | liquid starch | water | colored craft sand
When you get to the part where you add the glue/water mixture to the liquid starch, add a good 1/2 cup of colored craft sand and a few drops of blue food coloring. We used a mix of black and blue craft sand from our moon sand sensory bin activity. We used white glue but you can use clear too like our sand slime. I added the food coloring at this time as well. The slime will thicken up more than our regular slime!
We added a bunch of glow in the dark stars to add to the fun! We played in a dark room with it! You can also make glow in the dark slime with our easy slime recipe with one extra ingredient.
One batch of our space slime recipe makes a super thick slime. It’s clean on the hands and makes a great tactile sensory play material. Space slime feels really cool to the touch with its sanded texture but the sand doesn’t fall off! Space slime gets even more pliable as you play with it with warm hands. Make sure to check out the science behind the slime!
In our house everyone plays with the new batches of slime! Even daddy gets in on the action. This space slime is super stretchy! Look at what daddy did with the slime. If you are patient and slow, your space slime will stretch and unbelievable amount!
Make sure to take your space slime into a dark room for some sensory play too! Only the stars will glow unlike our glow in the dark slime, but it is still lots of fun. {I recommend putting it on a tray or in a dish to keep it off blankets and rugs}.
Our space slime is perfect for calming sensory play, a space themed unit, or a cool science experiment! The possibilities with slime are endless.
