Keep the kids busy this Summer with this homemade glitter slime recipe and Disney Frozen printable labels.
Glitter Slime Recipe
Raise your hand if your kids are in love with Disney’s Frozen? You are definitely not alone my friend. Not only are we constantly watching the movie, we listen to the soundtrack every time the kids are in the car. I’ve also lost count how many times my daughter has sung “Do you want to build a snowman?” with that sweet little voice of hers. In homage to our new favorite Disney movie we recently made homemade glitter slime to play with. Homemade slime is a great boredom buster that keeps the kids entertain throughout the day.
With Summer quickly approaching its time for me to gather ideas to keep the kids busy with activities, games, and new recipes to try. One of our favorite activities is making slime to pass the time. The kids will play with their batch of slime for hours while I get things done around the house. We typically use white Elmer’s glue to make slime but have also tried using the glitter glue. For this slime recipe I wanted to make a white glitter slime that reminded the kids of snow. To make the slime have a shimmer effect I mixed in white iridescent glitter after the slime was beginning to form. You can also use glitter glue and mix in extra glitter into your slime.

Slime with Elmer’s Magical Liquid
Elmer’s has a solution that makes it even easier to make your own slime! To make slime using Elmer’s Magical Liquid, combine glue (bottles 4oz-6oz) with 1/4 cup Magical Liquid. Mix the liquid with the glue a little at a time until it begins to form, then remove from bowl and knead with hands. This slime can be made with glitter glue, white glue and clear glue.
