The Best DIY Slime Kits for Kids…
Read now or click here to PIN for later!
We love slime at our house. And the amazing thing to me is that my kids (all ages) KEEP on loving it. Part of the reason for that is because there are so many different types of slime you can make. The possibilities are endless! Parents love it because kids are using science to make something fun and kids love it because it is ooey-gooey, stretchy and awesome!
It is easy to make your own slime kit, and slime kits make amazing gifts for kids. This post contains three different DIY Slime Kits: a beginner slime kit, an intermediate slime kit and an advanced slime kit. Slime Kits make a great gift for kids and tweens and I’ve made it easy for you by including free DIY slime Kit printables including printable slime recipes, and slime kit labels. Grab the DIY Slime Kits ingredients, print off the recipes and throw on a label for an amazing gift idea for kids and tweens.
As always, the recipes and labels are free to print from my Gift Printables Library. All you need to do is enter your email below and you will be signed up for my bi-weekly email filled with great gift ideas as well as an access code for free gift printables.
Without further ado, here is everything you need for a three simple (awesome) DIY Slime Kits for Kids and tweens!

What do you put in a slime kit?
The basics for every slime kit are glue, and an activator (shaving cream, contact solution or Borax). Then depending on the level of slime awareness (or the age of the kid) you can add in some fun extras!
What is the best slime kit?
There are pre-made slime kits
you can buy for kids, but making your own slime kit is simple, gets you more product for your buck and you tailor it to make it the perfect gift.

GLUE: You can buy it by the small container or by the gallon. Don’t be tricked into buying “special slime glue.” There is nothing special about it (except that it says slime glue and is more expensive).

Slime Kits for Kids
These kits would be a great gift from kids ages 4 all the way to teenagers! My 13-year-old regularly makes new slime concoctions. The different levels means they are great gifts even for kids who are already making slime. The advanced slime kit would make an amazing family gift…so if you have a fun family to buy for who loves to play together…this is a great option!
Can you think of someone who would love a slime kit? The color changing slime is so much fun, but don’t take our word for it…try it yourself!
I hope you will use these and want to hear how they go!
Happy Gifting!

This is the worse unfriendliness site to use. I entered my email address and provided a password to gain access to the "Gift Printables Library" to down load the 5 recipe cards for slime. Thirty minutes later countless times entering my saved password, being knocked out. I am still unable to download the recipe cards. If you would please assist me, apparently I am doing something very wrong.
