Halloween Glitter Slime Recipe

Filed Under: Craft Tutorials, Halloween, Kids Crafts Tagged With: Kids Holiday Crafts

Halloween Glitter Slime
Homemade putty is such a fun kids activity! We’ve been making it for years, but decided to give it a fun Halloween twist this year. This Halloween glitter slime is made from 3 ingredients and takes just minutes to make!

Halloween Glitter Slime
Ingredients:

1 c. glue (glitter or white, a 6-8oz. bottle)

1 c. water

1 tsp. borax

1 c. warm water

Halloween Glitter Slime
Mix glue and cold water together in a bowl.

Mix borax and warm together.

Add to glue/water mixture.

Stir for a minute.

Watch how quickly it comes together! There will be water left and that’s ok. Pull out the putty mass and start working it with your hands until it is smooth. If it is too sticky, place it back in the water for a second or two, then work with your hands again.

If you stick it in a small cup and put your finger in it, it will make noise. Like a fart…that’s my kids’ favorite part.

This would make a fun handout at a Halloween party instead of candy. Just make sure to warn parents and kids that this putty doesn’t do well if it gets on the carpet or fabric (it sticks). Play with it in the kitchen and you’ll be fine!

One batch will fill 4 small bubble cups.

I attached a Halloween sticker to the top of each one and packaged them in these small haunted house boxes.

I kind of have a thing for Oriental Trading and put an order in every fall for Halloween and Christmas activities for the kids. Such a great source!

Be sure to check them out this year when planning your Halloween costumes. We picked up costume accessories for both Ruby and Dallin there this year, making my job so much easier!

    Mine came out stiff and won’t adhere to itself. Too much water? Crappy glue? Help!!

      Hi Amy! It sounds like maybe too much water. Did you pull it out right away after mixing, and leave the extra water behind? You have to work it with your hands a bit for it to set up. I tried mixing more water into mine the first time I made it (because it seemed like there was a lot left over) and the same thing happened to me. The texture was kind of stiff and broke apart. If you are having issues with the glitter glue (the texture is a bit different than elmer’s white glue) you might try just using regular elmer’s glue and adding a few drops of food coloring. We’ve made it that way many times and it’s always turned out like putty! Hope that helps!
