No Glue! DIY 5-Minute Super Fun Clay Slime

INSIDE: How to make DIY clay slime for the kids with NO glue necessary! Super fun easy-to-make slime for no-bored kids.

I was provided a copy of Slime Sorcery by Adam Vandergrift for review. All opinions are mine.

There’s something going on in my house lately that is using up plastic baggies and small bowls with lids. I open a drawer to put away laundry and find a baggie of hot pink fluffy stuff. I pull out the duster to tackle the bunnies under the bed and find a collection of plastic lidded bowls full of ooey gooey. Maybe it’s happening at your house too. I declare our house has been hit by the colorful, fluffy, sensory-soothing phenomenon known as slime.

My 8 year old can’t go to any birthday party or sleepover of late without some take-home slime. She’s been hooked! So she was especially jazzed when we received a copy of Slime Sorcery by Adam Vandergrift. So many fun ideas and a book that’ll keep her in the slime-loving business for a long time!

Since this same girl used up all our white craft glue (on DIY slime-making experiments), we opted to test out a NO GLUE clay slime recipe. Here’s how it turned out…

Looks very fun playing this, is this safe for 2 year olds?

I would think it’s safe, unless you feel they may eat it. My 3 year old loved it.

  That’s right Mom, I’m afraid she ate it, maybe I should watch her for a while. Once accustomed maybe he will not eat it. Thank you Mom.

Totally true…my 8-year-old has been coming home with slime from birthday parties, too! (Later, the mom admitted that she regretted the activity…whoops!) Love the idea of a borax-free slime option and can’t wait to try this with my girls. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!

Oh, this is great! My daughter has been going through a slime phase since someone gave her a slime kit a while ago, but the supplies that came with the kit are running out and I’ve been looking for homemade alternatives.
Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party. Pinned.

Because my kids are all grown up I’m not sure if this crazy is still crazy!
I do remember slime back in my day though, in a little tub and you’d stick your fingers in it to make a farting noise – hilarious!!! (my poor mother probably found it less hilarious!)
