How to Make 4th of July Slime
Step 1. Pour all of the ingredients until a medium size bowl.
Step 2. Stir until the batch is well combined.
Step 3. As you stir, the slime mixture should start pulling away from the edges of the bowl.
Step 4. When the slime starts pulling away from the edge, remove and start working it with your hands until the slime is the consistency that you desire. It should be a soft ball and easy to stretch.
Expert Tips
- Consistency – If you find that the slime is too sticky add more Sta-Flo. This needs to be added slowly and approximately 1 teaspoon at a time until the slime is the texture that you prefer.
- Supplies – I like to use bowls and spoons specifically set aside for making slime. I keep all of my supplies together and can reuse to make slime again.
- Premeasure – If making with a large group of kids or classroom setting, it is easiest to premeasure all of the supplies. This will streamline making numerous batches of slime.
- Food coloring. You can add a few drops of red food coloring or blue food coloring to the glue mixture if desired. Add as much as you want to get a darker color. I would not add too much though so it does not get on hands.
