A couple of weekends ago we were driving through Downeast Maine when the beauty of the fall leaves really hit me. The gorgeous colors mixed with the stately spruces were absolutely stunning, to say the least. Sometimes my greatest inspirations for our homemade slime recipes come from what is happening around us. I just had to make leaves fall slime recipe celebrating the changing colors of the fall leaves.
Colorful Fall Leaves Slime Recipe
You will need:
- Clear Washable School Glue
- Saline Solution {active ingredients to include sodium borate and/or boric acid}
- Food Coloring {generic or specialty both work fine}
- Glitter
- Leaf Confetti
- Bowl, Spoon, Measuring Cups
- Reusable Container {for storage}
Instructions:
STEP 1: Add 1/2 cup of Clear Glue to your bowl (add more glitter if desired).
STEP 2: Mix with a 1/2 cup of water.
STEP 3: Add food coloring and glitter
STEP 4: Stir in 1/2 tsp baking soda
STEP 5: Mix in 1 tbsp saline solution and stir until slime forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. This is exactly how much you will need with the Target Sensitive Eyes brand!
If your slime still feels too sticky, you may need a few more drops of saline solution. As I mentioned above, start by squirting a few drops of the solution onto your hands and kneading your slime longer. You can always add but you can’t take away. Saline solution is preferred over contact solution.
NOTE: We have found that the Elmers Glitter Glue tends to be a bit stickier than their regular clear glue and we prefer our 2 ingredient slime recipe for this glue.
