Simple as That

Making Everyday Beautiful

Easy Slime Recipe

Sunday, April 16, 2017

This is our favorite slime recipe you guys! It was so easy to make and is 100% non-toxic! The kids loved making it so much and even this mom, who is a bit afraid of messy play, was on board with how fun it was!

Supplies

Resealable Containers

Contact Lens Solution

Washable Glitter Glue

Clear, Washable Glue

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks

Baking Soda

Craft Paint

Instructions

Find a bowl or cup to mix your slime in.

Pour out the entire contents of a 5oz bottle of clear school glue into the bowl or cup.

Add 3-4 drops of craft paint to color your slime.

Add glitter glue, however much you’d like.

Add 1/2 TBSP of baking soda and mix.

Add 1 TBSP of contact lens solution.

Mix until slime forms and begins to get harder to mix.

Take the slime out of bowl or cup and begin kneading with both of your hands.

If needed add 1/4 TBSP of contact lens solution to make the slime less sticky.

Store in an air tight container.

    Hello. I am wondering if ModPodge could be used in your slime recipe. Thanks.

        Can you use rev Elmer glue instead of clear glue. If not can you use just glitter glue?

Some weeks the miles come easy. Other weeks, life Some weeks the miles come easy. Other weeks, life is full, schedules are busy, and running takes a backseat. 

A little reminder to myself and all the other running moms out there…don’t get so caught up in where you want to be that you miss the good in where you are. 🫶

There’s so much to be grateful for in this season, too. The miles will be there. 🍂

I think that’s a big part of why I love getting out here. Away from the distractions of everyday life, I can be fully present and appreciate the beauty in the smallest details.

Memorable adventures can happen when the weather is far from perfect.

Some of my favorite days outside have included fog, rain, snow—and even a surprise hailstorm on my birthday hike. 😂 Sometimes the weather you weren’t hoping for becomes part of what makes the adventure so memorable.

You just never know what you’ll find when you go anyway. 🤍

There’s no off-season. All you need is the right gear and a little courage to go anyway.
