What kid doesn’t love playing with glitter? It’s messy and it’s pretty at the same time! I don’t know about you, but as a parent taking out the glitter can make me nervous that a big mess is about to happen. :) This Glitter Bomb Slime is a great way to let your kids play with glitter, but in a contained and safe way. I like to think of slime recipes as a contained mess because all of the ingredients stick together and you don’t have tiny glitter specs all over the house afterwards. Sounds good to me! :)

This Glitter Bomb Slime turned out looking so pretty. It would be a fun activity to do at a girl’s princess birthday party, or in other colors for a boy’s slime themed birthday party. Kids love making slime!

Glitter Bomb Slime Ingredients:

• 1 airtight container
• 1 5 oz bottle of clear glue
• ½ cup water
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp contact solution
• Glitter – chunky glitter (we used the ones from the set here).
• Fine Pink Glitter
• Fine Iridescent Glitter
• Fine Blue Glitter
• Fine Green Glitter
• Iridescent Basket filler grass
• Scissors
• Small bowl

*Note: You can use the glitter mentioned above, or any combination of glitter you already have on hand. It’s fun to see what color it turns out to be!

Glitter Bomb Slime Instructions:

1. In a bowl, pour the entire 5 oz bottle of clear glue.  
2. Add in ½ cup of water.
3. Add in ½ tsp baking soda and stir.
4. Add in the glitter.  Don’t be afraid to add a bunch! We piled on a mix of fine glitters and chunky glitters.
5. Cut iridescent basket fillers to small pieces.  These really gave our slime a fun texture!
6. Add 1 tbsp contact solution.  It will instantly begin to form.
7. It will be STICKY!  Don’t panic! Mix the solution in the bowl until it starts to form.
8. Knead the slime until it is no longer sticky.  
9. Store in an airtight container.

Let us know if you make this fun Glitter Bomb Slime, too! We would love to see how pretty it turns out!

Glitter Bomb Slime can be used making any color or shape of glitter that you want. The possibilities of what your slime will end up looking like are almost endless! This is a great sensory experience for kids to take part in making.
