Where Can I Find Non-Toxic Glitter?

We get most of our glitter from Walmart or the craft store but you can also buy fine glitter for slime from Amazon. This is not an edible slime, which means you want to make sure that children are not tasting the slime.

Is This Slime Safe for Children?

Since my kids loved making slime, I make sure all of the slime we make is safe for kids. All the we make is borox free so that there is no chance of kids getting hurt from inhaling the chemicals or from getting chemical burns. This slime uses sta-flo starch and Elmer’s glue.

Borax Free Slime Recipe

What makes this a kid safe recipe? What does that even mean? When diy slime started to become increasingly popular among kids at home, several children started to receive horrible blisters and third-degree burns.

It turns out that boric acid, an ingredient that is commonly found in slime recipes, was causing terrible skin reactions! And since borax is a cleaning chemical, anything that a toddler or preschooler is going to play with should always be slime without borax!

How to Make Glitter Slime

Continue to stir until it starts to form together. The switch to playing with it. This will finish it, making it come together.

Once the slime together, add the glitter. One fun way to mix the glitter in, is to stretch out the slime and pour the glitter on top.

Then as the glitter slime is played with, the glitter will get incorporated.
