Peppermint Sparkly Slime Recipe - Great for sensory needs or for smell oriented children.

Peppermint is one of my favorite smells. In honor of the coming Christmas season I thought it would be fun to make some sparkly peppermint slime with the kids. I found the slime recipe over at Colorado Mom’s blog. I knew that with a few tweaks it could get a great Christmas activity for kids young and old. Do not let your child eat this though. The borax is not safe for them.

What you will need:

Borax – 2 tablespoons
Glue – 8 oz
Green Glitter – about 4 tablespoons
Water – 2 cups
Red Food Dye
Peppermint Essential oils – 2-4 drops based on how strong you want it. (You can contact me if you want more information about essential oils.

What to do:

Mix borax and 1 cup of water in a bowl. – Set aside for use later.

Mix together glue, 1 cup water, peppermint oil, food die, and glitter.
Add glue mixture to borax mixture.
Stir until you get a slime texture. – If it comes out too waterry add glue.

This is about the texture you want.

Let your kids have fun exploring it. They will have a lot of fun with the texture of slime.

Don’t make my mistake and put down paper to avoid the mess. It will absorb your slime.

Store in a jar with a lid when finished.

Welcome!
