My kiddos are obsessed with making slime. I mean, they think about it day and night. Their other obsession? Shaved ice. I knew we had to combine their loves to create a fun slushie slime recipe. After a lot of trial and error, we finally found the perfect recipe.
But before I share it with you, I want you to know what to look for when you’re looking for THE perfect slime recipe.

• It needs to be easy and fairly simple.
• Make sure it’s easy to clean up and requires only a few ingredients.
• Ensure that it calls for the right amount of ingredients that will keep your slime from being too thick or too runny.
• Eventually, you’ll determine the perfect base recipe and then you’ll be able to add fun extras to your slime, like beads or pom poms.

Now, on to the fun stuff:

Slushie Slime Instructions:

1. In a bowl, pour the entire 5 oz bottle of clear glue.  
2. Add in ½ cup of water.
3. Drop a few colors of red coloring.  We use these soap dyes. I love them – there are a ton of colors to choose from and they don’t color your hands. Stir to mix.
4. Add in ½ tsp baking soda and stir.
5. Add 1 tbsp contact solution.  It will instantly begin to form.
6. Next, add in the slushie beads.
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.  Store in an airtight container.

After the slime sits for a bit, the beads will rise to the top and the slime will settle to the bottom.  It’s okay: just mix it and it will all go back together. The kids will think this is super cool!
