Glitter slime is great for sensory play but I have been putting off making it for my early learning environment because I could never get the right consistency for the mixture. It always turned out hard and broke when being stretched. After a lot of trial and error I found a recipe that works well.
You will need to have:
glitter glue (I purchased mine from walmart)
plain water
borax mixture (1tsp of borax mixed with 1 cup of water)
glitter glue (I purchased mine from walmart)
plain water
borax mixture (1tsp of borax mixed with 1 cup of water)
Start by emptying the entire bottle of glitter glue to a bowl. Next add 1 tablespoon of water to the glue and stir.
Slowly pour in a little of the borax mixture and stir everything together. Keep adding small amounts of the mixture until you are able to form a soft ball shape.
Pick the glitter slime up and begin kneading ... pulling and stretching until it is the right consistency. If it is too thick add a little plain water ... if it is too runny at a little of the borax mixture.
You want the glitter slime to be able to be very thin when stretch. You can store the glitter slime in air tight containers. If it becomes too dry or too wet you can always add water or borax solution (save the left over that you made).
