I recently put out a cry for help on Instagram and asked my followers for advice on giving gifts to T's friends at birthday parties.
One of my lovely followers commented that I should make something and so my quest for a boy friendly slime began.
I've been experimenting with slime for a few weeks now, I've made about 6 batches, but only 3 have really turned out OK. So far I've only made glitter slime, that's fine for small boys - right??? ;) the glue I use is from Sainsbury's. I'll be starting to practice non-glitter slime soon, so that might be a different recipe.
I think I've almost perfected it now, here's the recipe I use after a few failed attempts.
1 120g bottle glitter glue
120g cold water
1/4 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp borax
First empty the glitter glue into a bowl, fill the glue bottle up with cold water and give it a good shake to get as much out as possible,
Dissolve the borax in the boiling water.
Tip the borax mixture into the glue mixture and stir.
I then add things to make it a bit more exciting.
To this slime I added some cars table confetti, as they were all plastic they are fine with the glue. Watch out for paper ones though!
I like to add a little something extra as a surprise, in this case I added a tiny Lightning McQueen charm and some toy wheels.
