Megan’s Safe and Sparkly Slime

For a safe and sparkly alternative to Elmer’s traditional slime recipe, swap out the regular glue for clear glue and follow the recipe below:

  • 1/2 Tbsp of baking soda
  • 1 1⁄2 Tbsp of contact lens solution
  • 5 fl oz Elmer’s Clear Glue
  • Food coloring (as desired)
  • Glitter (as desired)

Here’s what you do:

  1. Find a bowl, cup, or plate to mix your slime in.
  2. Pour out the entire contents of a 5 oz Elmer’s Clear Glue bottle into the bowl.
  3. Add 1⁄2 Tbsp of baking soda and mix.
  4. Add your choice of food coloring and glitter and mix.
  5. Add 1 Tbsp of contact solution.
  6. Mix until slime forms and it begins to get harder to mix.
  7. Take the slime out and begin kneading with both of your hands.
  8. If needed, add 1⁄4 TBSP Contact solution to make the slime less sticky.

Another Snowy Story Time

We are ready for spring! Aren’t you? Hopefully this will be the last time we feel inspired to do a story time about snow this season. Listen to our stories and then check out the fun craft kit you can pick up at the library!

Our craft this week is a kit you pick up at the library. Kids will use a pencil eraser to make snowflakes surrounding their snowman. You can make a big pile of snow like Miss Megan did, and then color in your snowman. The snowman coloring page and the pencil are provided in the kit. All you need to provide at home is the paint.
