A fun and tactile craft that combines traditional slime with vibrant sand, perfect for kids and adults to explore creativity and sensory play.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup white school glue
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup sand (colored or natural)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon contact lens solution
- food coloring (various colors) Adjust according to desired color intensity.
Tools
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 spoon or spatula
- 1 airtight container for storage
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue and 1/2 cup of water. Stir well until fully mixed. The mixture should be smooth and consistent.
- Add a few drops of food coloring to your glue mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the color is evenly distributed. Adjust the color intensity to your liking!
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of baking soda and mix vigorously. This will help your slime gain the right consistency.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution. You’ll notice the slime start to form; it will gradually pull away from the sides of the bowl. Knead the slime with your hands until it becomes stretchy and less sticky.
- Gradually mix in 1 cup of sand to the slime. Start folding it in and notice how the texture changes. This is when you’ll experience the delightful crunch of sand mixed with soft slime.
- Once fully combined, store your colorful sand slime in an airtight container when not in use.
Notes
For added variations, you can incorporate glitter, essential oils, or use different colored sand. Experiment with textures and host a slime-making party to encourage creativity among participants.
