SLIME FAILURES
The biggest reason for slime fails is not reading through the recipe! People contact me all the time with: “Why didn’t this work?”
Most of the time the answer has been lack of attention to supplies needed, reading the recipe, and actually measuring the ingredients! So give it a try and do let me know if you need some help. On a very rare occasion, I have gotten an old batch of glue, and there is no fixing that!

HOW DO YOU STORE SLIME?
Slime lasts quite a while! I get a lot of questions regarding how I store my slime. We use reusable containers in either plastic or glass. Make sure to keep your slime clean and it will last for several weeks. I love the deli-style containers I have listed in my recommended slime supplies list.
If you want to send kids home with a bit of slime from a camp, party, or classroom project, I would suggest packages of reusable containers from the dollar store or grocery store or even Amazon. For large groups, we have used condiment containers and labels as seen here.
We have the best resources to look through before, during, and after making your (KEYWORD) slime! Make sure to go back and read the slime science above too!
