Happy Valen-SLIMES Day!

Have I mentioned I love puns? Well, I do. That's why we had to make slime for Valen-SLIMES Day! (My son laughed at that pun for a solid 15 seconds.)

My kids kept some to play with and we gave some as gifts.

If you want to celebrate too (or make slime any other non-punny day of the year), here's how.

You'll need:

>> 2 small bottles or 1 large bottle of GLUE 

(clear or or white, depending on the look you want)

>> 1 TBS of baking soda

>> about 3 TBS of contact solution

**Optional:

>> Glitter

>> Tiny foam balls (Faux Snow) 

Mix everything together. 

I found the more contact solution you add, the harder it is to stick the slime "pieces" back together, so don't overdo it.

We've made slime before, and it was pretty simple, so I decided to add tiny foam balls to the mix for something new. I found out they don't stick well unless you put them into the glue FIRST, but you could definitely leave them out if you missed the Christmas clearance sales, or if you prefer a smoother slime.

They did add a fun twist though. 

My kids will be playing with this for days. We store ours in a Ziploc bag. Use any airtight container you have on hand. 

My pink glitter ended up looking more like purple, but it still looked holiday appropriate.

If you want to gift some slime to your Valentine, here are the tags I made. 

Super simple, just SAVE and PRINT! 

If you make this, let me know how it goes! Leave a comment with your Valen-SLIMES Day experience. 

Thanks for stopping by.
