Quickest DIY Slime Kids Will Love to Make

Calling all crafty parents! Hunting for crafts for kids is a difficult thing when you go the traditional route.

However, you can find some fun and satisfying crafts if you consider something “out of the box,” like 8 Quick DIY Slime Kids Will Love To Make.

These are accessible, fun, fluffy slime recipes that will show your little ones a bunch of fun with a new toy at the end of it. 

If you want to start off with something that is simple yet satisfying, there’s a recipe here that uses liquid starch.

It’ll give that delicious goopy feeling, and it’s got a delicious consistency when you hold it and slip it around in your hands. 

Another basic recipe is the pink one with a smooth, shiny overall finish to it.

If you’ve never made slime before, this is a great choice that you can use and make in any color that you want. 

There’s a fluffy slime for those that like the foamy slime effect.

You can really see how the shaving cream comes into the recipe in this kind of design, too.

If you add the craft sand, you’ll get even more fun as far as the overall slime profile.

If you want to use a simple design for a sticky feel (without the actual residue), there is one that uses a fun recipe that relies on simple dish soap and glue.

This is great for simply using what you have around the house, too.

For the glitter lover, there is a glitter slime that blends two colors together with the fun shimmer of sparkles.

Perfect for when you want the slime to do double duty.

Similarly, there is a fun homemade slime recipe for blending together pastel rainbow hues into a fluffy cloud that will be fun to work with. 

Or the two-toned red and yellow slime that is just bold enough to get everyone’s attention and interest when they see it forming up.

The only one bolder than that is the mermaid slime that will blend together sparkles, mermaid tails, and a fun blue solution that holds it all together for you.
