Sand Slime Ingredients
- ½ cup White Glue. I prefer Elmer’s glue when making slime. It always turns out perfectly.
- ½ cup Water
- Food Coloring. This is optional and you can use any color you like.
- ¼ cup of Liquid Starch. Works as a slime activator.
- ¾-1 cup Kinetic Sand. Gives the slime a great texture.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. You will need a large mixing bowl. Add the white glue to the bowl.
Step 2. Next, stir in the water with a sturdy wooden spoon, plastic spoon or your hands.
Step 3. If you are using food coloring, go ahead and add it.
Step 4. Use food coloring that matches the color of your Kinetic sand and stir thoroughly.
Step 5. Slowly stir in the liquid starch.
Step 6. Stir the mixture together.
Step 7. When the glue starts to pull away from the bowl or stick to the spoon, remove from the bowl and mix with your hands.
Step 8. Slowly stir in the Kinetic sand. Start by mixing in ¾ cup of sand and then slowly add in more sand until the slime is the consistency that you prefer. If the slime is too sticky, stir in more Kinetic sand and if it’s not sticky enough, add in more liquid starch as needed.
