How to make Watermelon Slime for Kids
1. Pour the glue and slime activator liquid together in a large bowl
This is my favorite way to make slime, it’s so simple to just add the two ingredients together instead of making slime from scratch.
All you need to do is follow the instructions on the side of the bottle.
2. Mix until fully combined
If your slime is more sticky than you want, you can always add a tiny bit more activator liquid until you are happy.
3. Add in your black pom poms
I made the mistake of making this slime using dried black beans instead of black pom poms. At first it worked wonderfully, but a few days later I opened up the tub I stored it with and the slime had made the black beans turn.
Don’t make the same mistake I did. Use black pom poms from the beginning instead.
4. Enjoy playing
Now your kids are ready to stretch, pull, push and play with the slime whatever way they like.
