How to a Make Grinch Slime
These step by step photos and instructions are here to help you visualize how to make this project. Please scroll down to simply print out the instructions!
- Empty the entire 4 oz bottle of clear glue into a plastic bowl.
- Add one tablespoon of baking soda.
- Squirt in one tablespoon of saline solution.
- Stir for a minute or so until baking soda is dissolved and mixture starts to pull away from sides of the bowl. If slime is still sticky, squirt in a little more saline solution until it becomes easier to pull.
- Add 3-4 drops of green food coloring and stir with a spoon, then knead with hands (you will get food coloring on your hands).
- Pour in your desired amount of red hearts. Mix until hearts are distributed evenly.
Expert Crafting Tips
- If crafting with a group, purchase value packs of glue and have things pre-measured so you avoid excess use of supplies.
- It’s best to use bowls and mixing supplies that you will throw away or save just for slime projects.
- For food coloring, start with a little bit and add more until you get your desired intensity.
We have plenty of slime projects your kids will enjoy, and we’ll be adding more soon. Hope you have fun with this Grinch Slime this holiday Christmas!
