MAKING WINTER SNOWFLAKE HOMEMADE SLIME
To make your Frozen theme slime, you will need our best ever homemade slime recipe! Click on the black button below.
My son used to be a bit squeamish with the homemade slime, but now he is very used to the texture and is so excited to see a new batch being made. Of course, we re-watched Frozen and he thought this was just like the movie.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT: Winter Themed Snowflake Oobleck
I set out this awesome clear, sparkly, homemade slime, and he decorated it with our snowflakes. I found several varieties of confetti, sequins and buttons at the craft store for our winter sensory play (easy to re-use when done!) and he made “ice”.
Wintery Crystal Snowflakes are also fun to make and great science for kids
He enjoyed holding our snowflake homemade slime up in front of the window to see the way the slime caught the light and made it sparkle! It’s pretty stunning if I do say so myself! So easy and beautiful.

WINTER SNOWFLAKE HOMEMADE SLIME SCIENCE!
Make sure to check out our post about basic slime science for young kids. It’s a great tool for including some science learning into slime play but on a level for young kids to understand! Slime is actually a great chemistry experiment all about polymers.

January 6, 2015 at 5:21 pmDid you use clear glue? If you use white glue it won’t be clear.

January 5, 2015 at 2:24 pmWhere do you buy liquid starch? thanks
littlebins
January 6, 2015 at 5:21 pmI don’t believe you can buy in UK but maybe off of Amazon. Do you have powdered borax. Our bat slime uses borax.

January 22, 2015 at 7:29 pmHow do you store the slime? I’m thinking about using it in a library program but I will have to make it ahead of time. Thanks
littlebins
January 30, 2015 at 1:33 amYou can store it loosely covered in a upper ware or plastic container. It keeps for a week or more but check on it, turn it over, play with it to keep it moist and pliable.

February 10, 2015 at 2:50 amI just wanted to let you know that the slime came out fantastic for my library program! It’s so easy and quick to make and it was a huge hit with all the kids!

February 9, 2015 at 10:53 pmI’ve tried this recipe twice now, and both times all I got was viscous water. I’m getting frustrated as the starch doesn’t seem to be binding with the glue at all and I’m just wasting supplies. Is there an order of operations that is needed for this to turn into slime or am I just unable to do chemistry?

February 10, 2015 at 2:48 amAre you using the exact same elders clear washable school glue mixed with 1/2 cup of water and then add that mixture to 1/2 cup of liquid starch {as fund in laundry aisle, not cornstarch} Immediately when you add the glue/water to starch it should start to form and then use your hands for a few minutes to work it around. Our mix becomes completely absorbed. Feel free to message me on the FB page and include a photo. That might help.

February 12, 2015 at 2:06 amMy daughter and I just made this for the boys in her kindergarten class for valentine’s day. She had a blast! It turned out great. We used white glue and added a little bit of glow in the dark paint. She kept the leftover slime and I am sure we will be making this many more times!

December 5, 2016 at 7:57 pmdoes the glue have to be clear
littlebins
December 14, 2016 at 2:53 pmNo it does not. It will just have a different appearance but be just as fun!
