Gold Slime Recipes

December 21, 2021 by Larissa Coleman

It’s 3 different ways to make 3 kinds of gold slime, including shiny metallic and glitter gold. They’re all super quick and easy to make!

Hey there, fellow parents and caregivers! Today I want to talk to you about the wonderful benefits of letting kids make slime. Yes, slime! That ooey-gooey, stretchy, and squishy substance that kids absolutely love. Not only is slime a fun and engaging activity, but it’s also incredibly tactile and has numerous benefits for child development.

Firstly, let’s talk about the sensory benefits of slime. Making and playing with slime is a great way for kids to explore different textures, colors, and smells. It’s a sensory experience that engages the sense of touch and can be a calming and soothing activity for kids who may struggle with sensory processing issues. It can also help improve fine motor skills as kids manipulate the slime with their fingers.

In addition to the sensory benefits, making slime can also encourage creativity and imaginative play. Kids can experiment with different colors, textures, and scents to create their own unique creations. They can also use the slime as a prop for imaginative play, creating stories and characters with their slime creations.

So, let’s get started on making some slime! Here are three different recipes for you to try out:

Basic Slime:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of white school glue
1/2 cup of liquid starch
Food coloring (optional)
Instructions:

Pour the glue into a bowl.
Add food coloring, if desired, and mix well.
Slowly add the liquid starch to the glue, stirring continuously.
Continue to mix until the slime forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead the slime with your hands until it becomes stretchy and smooth.

Scented Slime:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of white school glue
1/2 cup of liquid starch
Essential oils (your choice of scent)
Food coloring (optional)
Instructions:

Pour the glue into a bowl.
Add food coloring and essential oils, mixing well.
Slowly add the liquid starch to the glue, stirring continuously.
Continue to mix until the slime forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead the slime with your hands until it becomes stretchy and smooth.

Textured Slime:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of white school glue
1/2 cup of liquid starch
Glitter, beads, or other small objects for texture

Pour the glue into a bowl.
Add food coloring and glitter or beads, mixing well.
Slowly add the liquid starch to the glue, stirring continuously.
Continue to mix until the slime forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Knead the slime with your hands until it becomes stretchy and smooth.
In conclusion, making slime is a great activity for kids that can promote sensory exploration, imaginative play, and fine motor skills. So, gather up some materials and get ready for some fun and educational slime-making adventures with your little ones!
