How to Make Perfect Halloween Slime

The secret to good slime is picking the right ingredients and putting them together in the right order.

We always use Elmer’s glue and name-brand laundry starch, Borax, or contact solution as an activator.

You can also now purchase slime activator that works well.

Using the right ingredients is the number one way to have success with your slime recipes.

The next thing to pay attention to is the look of your slime.

We have some tips on slime troubleshooting here, which can really help ensure your slime comes out right and lasts a long time.

We also love this little kit from Elmer’s, which has tons of slime variations all in one box!
