How to Make a Massive DIY Slime Kit
Amazon Items
These items are best purchased online.
- 1 Gallon White Glue Glue is usually half the price online as it is in stores. HALF THE PRICE!
- 1 Gallon Clear Glue
- Sta-Flo Liquid Starch Can also be found in grocery stores in the laundry aisle.
- Spoons I recommend metal spoons because plastic ones sometimes break in slime.
- 4 oz Portion Cups I love portion cups because it’s easy for kids to measure out the right amount of glue. Wash and save them for reuse.
- 2 oz. Portion Cups Use these for the liquid starch!
- Measuring spoons
- Soft Clay These colors make the prettiest butter slime!
- Liquid Watercolors (optional in lieu of food coloring)
- Foam Balls
- Glow Paint
- Clay FruitsThese look amazing in clear slimes!
- Sequins

- Deli Containers These are my favorite way to store slime once it’s made. They seal tight and they can be stacked.
- Slime 101 Book A nice primer on slime recipes!
- Storage Container Store all your supplies in a large bin! Consider getting a second one to store all the kiddo’s slime. Psst….these can also be purchased at Staples.
Grocery Store Items
(or Amazon Pantry)
- Vinegar
- Lotion
- Saline Solution Buy an inexpensive brand but make sure it contains boric acid.
- Baking Soda
- Food Coloring
Dollar Store Items
(or Amazon Pantry)
- Mixing Bowl I have found these at the Dollar Store. They are great because the have a handle and rubber ring at the base to prevent the bowl form sliding around.

- Table Covers  Great to have on hand to quickly cover a table.
