3 quick-and-easy DIY slimes your kids will absolutely love

Anna O'Rourke

You’ll want to play with these yourself.

As you might know, the retro substance that is slime is back!

A favourite of 90s kids, slime is enjoying a resurgence thanks to the mesmerising videos of the substance on Instagram.

Fun and wonderfully uncomplicated, a squidgy ball of slime will keep your little ones occupied for hours.

And, thankfully, there’s plenty of tutorials on social media on how to make the beloved toy.

It couldn’t be easier, really.

1. Colourful slime

This is your basic slime recipe. Skip straight to 1.51 to get to the how-to part.

 

2. Unicorn slime

Skip to 0.48. This is so pretty and very easy to make.

 

3. Bubble slime

A little more work but very satisfying to play with – like squidgy rainbow bubblewrap.

 

One last thing –  make sure to supervise your kids while they’re messing with the slime, especially the younger ones. Play time won’t be fun if they ingest some of it!
