Homemade Glitter Slime

If you have a tween or teen girl in the house, you probably have a whole lot of homemade slime in bags, containers, and just about everywhere you can imagine, but do you have glitter slime yet?

This is my girls’ new obsession. If you are looking for a borax free slime recipe, this kid safe glitter slime tutorial is going to knock your socks off!

My kid safe slime recipe is perfect for an afternoon summer activity, or anytime! Kids can’t get enough of it because glitter slime is so beautiful for them to look at and fun play with.

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!

Supplies Needed

Get the full list of ingredients, with measurements, and step by step directions at the bottom of the post in the printable recipe card.

  • White washable glue – Like school glue
  • Liquid starch
  • Food coloring
  • Glitter

Are you looking for another fantastic tip? Shop online for your all of your slime making ingredients and supplies, AND buy in bulk! None of the stores nearby ever carry the large bottles of glue we need.

One batch of slime, we always make 2, takes one small bottle. If you will be making a lot of slime, and believe me, you will, order a large bottle of glue. I get my starch online too.

How to Make Glitter Slime
