Tips for creating this Christmas slime recipe:
- While you could use white glue, I used Elmer’s clear glue in this batch so that the fun Christmas confetti can show through the transparent slime.
- You can find Christmas confetti online and at most craft stores, but I bought mine in the Target dollar section. So fun!
- We decided to scent our slime with a nice Christmas tree essential oil blend. It smells so great, although it’s onlinepletely optional. I think peppermint essential oil would smell nice, too.
- There are a few ways to make slime, but we like using contact solution. Make sure the brand you use contains boric acid and sodium borate, so it’ll work as an activator. For an alternative, try using 1/2 cup of liquid starch like Stay-Flo instead of contact solution and baking soda.
- Slime can last for weeks if stored in a tightly covered container. However, I’d toss it if it gets moldy or starts to smell.
Now it’s time for some Jiggly Christmas slime fun!
Oh my goodness, this scented slime is so cool! We loved playing with it and it made for a fun winter break activity idea. Put on some holiday tunes and whip up a batch of stretchy, scented, satisfying slime to play with.
