Oh yes, slime is for girls too, so why not make it with a princess theme?!? Some friends of ours came over for a playdate and the two girls (Miss E (6yrs) and Miss L (4.5yrs)) are princess obsessed, so I enjoyed the challenge of making something that they would enjoy. It makes a change from trains, at least!
I considered that the most essential element to the slime would be glitter. I’d made non-glittery slime before by combining clear glue, liquid starch and food dye. Could I add loose glitter to that? However, then I came across clear glitter glue in pink and purple, and my way forward was clear!Note: Two important things I want to mention if you’re considering making some slime. First, it is NOT safe to be consumed in any quantity. Second, do NOT dispose of the slime down the sink – it may cause plumbing issues!
How to make slime
- 6 oz bottle of glitter glue (Elmer’s have a pack of three 6 oz bottles, pink, purple and green)
- 4 oz liquid starch (found in the laundry aisle of big supermarkets or via Amazon)

I made the slime the day before the playdate, and stored it in resealable plastic bags overnight. The next day I found that a little of the liquid starch had separated out but I just blotted it with some kitchen paper. I extracted the slime from the bags and placed both colours in a large glass baking dish. To make the slime extra-princessy I added some figurines, plastic gems, and some shaped plastic links.

The two girls played *very* differently. Miss E wanted to make pretty pictures and patterns, but *really* didn’t want to touch it.

Meanwhile, her younger sister Miss L was quite the opposite, and couldn’t put the slime down!

I just love how differently they played – even separating out the slime in the baking dish!
