MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE MONSTER SLIME (affiliate links):
* Oil (optional, can help with sticking)
* Bowl
* Spoon or spatula to mix (we prefer to use disposable silverware)
HOW TO MAKE MONSTER SLIME:
1. Start by mixing 1/2 cup of Elmer’s clear school glue, 1/2 tsp of baking soda and a few drops of food coloring. We used clear glue so the monsters were slightly transparent and extra creepy!
2. Mix the above ingredients until fully mixed.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of contact solution and mix. Keep adding contact solution until the slime stops sticking to the bowl and can be picked up without sticking to hands. We typically end up using about 2 tablespoons of contact solution by the time it’s complete.
4. If you find the slime still sticking to hands, add a few drops of oil (any kind will work) and this will help keep the slime from sticking.
4. Add some googly eyes and vampire fangs and start creating your monsters!
Tip: If your slime started to get too solid or dry out, try adding a bit of water and kneading it into the slime to get it more stretchy again.
Be sure to store your slime in sealable containers to keep it from drying out. We keep them in sealable plastic bags and that works great!
