For our Galactic Moon Coop Slime, we will be starting with a simple slime base- clear glue and liquid starch. The REAL star of this slime is the ultra sparkle glitter we found for it! We are using Hemway Black Holographic, which can be found HERE on Amazon!
To start, add some clear glue to a bowl or other container. We measured about half a scoop from one of these detergent cups... but you can use more or less, depending on how large of a group you're working with (and how large your storage container is!). I'd recommend starting with this amount or smaller, if you aren't sure. It's far easier to add more glue than to correct for too much.
Next, add some glitter! The glitter amount can also be adjusted. This is a matter of personal preference. If you have enough on hand, and only a small batch to make... add more! If you want it less sparkly, or have a large group... a little less works just as well.
We added some colored glitter to our black sparkles, and mixed the glue and glitter with a popsicle stick.
This is the part where some people get frustrated. Begin adding pipettes full of liquid starch to the glue/glitter mixture. It may take quite a bit of starch, if you have too much glue. Kids often have a tendency to add more glue than they need at the beginning... so be sure to keep this in mind as you measure your materials!
Repeat this process as needed- adding a pipette of starch, and then stirring. Eventually, your slime will reach a consistency that you can play with! Sometimes it needs a bit of kneading to get to the desired texture- the warmth from your hands, plus the extra mixing is a winning combination.
If the slime is too watery, add more glue. If it's too stringy, add more starch. There's a delicate balance to hit with this craft, but with just a little bit of finessing, you can end up with something super cool!
