If your kids are as obsessed with slime as mine is, you have to check out this amazing collection of over 35 easy slime recipes for kids!

What do you get when you mix glue, borax, glitter, and water? The latest tween obsession! That’s what!

Never in my life would I have imagined there would be a glue shortage outside of August and back-to-school. However, that’s exactly what I discovered when I drove to not one, not two, but FOUR stores to find white glue!

I lamented about it on Instagram when my quick trip to Kroger turned into a trip around town just to find a bottle of Elmer’s glue. We finally found a few at our local craft store, and my kiddo came home happy as a clam!

What in the world would cause a national Elmer’s glue shortage? SLIME! Have your kids been bitten by the slime bug? Are they as obsessed as mine with that gooey, flarpy, glittery concoction?

Amazing Slime Recipes

My daughter has become obsessed with making slime! She spends most of her allowance on glue and other slime supplies.

We actually just left Walmart with 7 more bottles of Elmer’s glue (in addition to the three she picked up yesterday while out with her dad). I’m quite sure she’ll come home from ballet class tonight and set up shop in the kitchen.

She’ll gather her glitter, sequins, essential oils, and food coloring. Then, she’ll start creating. She uses a different recipe every time because she loves to see how changing one ingredient makes the slime different.

If you’ve got a child that’s obsessed with slime, or you want to introduce your kiddo to a great afternoon craft project, check out the amazing collection of slime recipes I’ve rounded up for you.
