>U Mom Knows Best: Homemade Galaxy Slime

Homemade Galaxy Slime

                The color of this non-toxic slime is so pretty.


 Summer is here and I am always looking for craft ideas to keep the boys busy. While looking online for a craft idea, I came across this awesome recipe for Galaxy Slime over at Gina Michele. I really like her recipe as it does not have Borax in it and that means my sensitive skin son can play with it. My boy's really liked that Gina Michele's recipe used glitter glue to give it a cool look and color without food dye. The last batch of slime that we attempted to make used food coloring and it stained my boy's hands blue.


  I had to make a run to the store to get the glitter glue and the contact solution. I was very happy that those ingredients cost less than $5.00. I chose a pretty blue color of glitter glue.


Then the fun began and I let the boys make the Galaxy Slime. The boys enjoyed creating this sparkly goo of slime. I love that the glitter stays in the slime and does not get all over the house! This recipe made a nice stretchy slime and the blue sparkle just begged me to play with the slime. It was so fun and a bit messy for the boys to make the slime, thank goodness we have soap and water. So I sent the boys to the sink to wash their hands with the new Softsoap® Hand Wash Plus Lotion™ liquid hand soap that I just received the other day. This soap is so gentle on my skin and makes them feel so soft. These Soft Soaps have lotion in them so they feel so silky. The Orchid & Coconut Milk is my favorite as it smells so good! This soap also has other scents like Aloe Water & Lime and Shea & Cocoa Butter.

Homemade Galaxy Slime
Supplies needed:
4 oz Glitter school glue, I used blue
1/2 Tablespoon Baking soda
1 Tablespoons Contact lens solution
Container or bowl
Old spoon (that you no longer use for food)

This makes one small ball of slime.

1. Pour all of the glue into the container. My glitter glue came in 3 oz, so I had to add 1 oz of white school glue.
2. Add the baking soda and stir
3. Add the contact lens solution.
4. Scoop the slime out of the bowl and start molding it with your hands. If it feels too sticky, add another spoonful of contact lens solution.


 After the boys played with the colored slime, I sent them off to wash their hands. I am also happy that my youngest son did not get any rashes on his hands from the slime.


                                Hand washing is always a good thing after playing with slime.


Washing your hands not only gets the dirt off but it also takes care of germs. I make my boys wash their hands a lot so I am glad that Softsoap has lotion in it to keep their hands moisturized.


Make sure to store the Galaxy slime in a zipper plastic bag so it does not dry out.

I follow a bunch of Instagram accounts that do nothing but make slime. There's something about the videos that calms me down.

My kids would love this slime. We went to an event a while back and they made slime, but they used the craziest chemicals, so I wouldn't let my kids touch it. This slime looks safe and easy to make.

As a parent of a school age child you are no doubt familiar with slime. That's right, I am talking about that stretchy, ooey gooey toy product which kids are going ape over.here

These nutrients are put into the tank from fish waste and food. In most new systems that are correctly stocked and filtered the problem will normally go away on its own in a few weeks, it just takes patience on your part.youtube.com
