Instructions for homemade glow-in-the-dark slime

Step 1

Add all of the ingredients in a bowl.

Tip: Use paint that is non-toxic when making projects with kids.

Step 2

While wearing gloves, mix all of the ingredients together until slime begins to form. It will feel a little rubbery but will stretch easily.

Tip:  We found that there was a little excess liquid in the bowl once our slime was mixed together. If there is you can just toss that away.

Step 3

Continue to knead and play with the glow in the dark slime until it has reached desired slime consistency!

Finished Glow in the Dark Slime

Leave your slime on a paper plate or in a container under natural or artificial lights. This will help to activate the glow paint. The longer it’s under the light, the better it will glow.
