And let me tell you, we have tried all kinds of different kinds of clays. You need super soft fine clay to make this type of slime. We found Diaco is the brand that worked best. It’s light, fluffy clay and mixes well with the slime.

GOLD SLIME RECIPE GLITTER SLIME SENSORY PLAY

“Looking for an awesome homemade glitter gak recipe? Look no more! Now this type of glue has a consistency of a solid mass, it flows slow, and stretches well the more you play with it. Unlike traditional slime recipes, you don’t have to worry about it hitting the ground quickly and can easily be customized with fun glitter shapes like stars or hearts. It can also stretch really thin, which means its great for making bubbles with slime.”

“We are really digging this night sky theme! My kiddos and their classmates are really into sensory exploration right now, and the starry night sky lends itself to so many amazing sensory activities.”

    Oh my gosh! I had resisted the slime movement for a loooong time, but my 6 year old finally talked me into it. This gives me a ton of ideas, now that I’ve broken the seal:) Thinking we’ll try unicorn and fluff next.
