Crunchy Snow Slime Recipe

Supplies needed:

½ cup of white school glue
4 1/2 teaspoons of cornstarch
½ cup of shaving cream, white
1 teaspoon of Borax
1 cup of hot water
White glitter (optional)
fish tank gravel, blue (found at dollar store)

Directions:

1. Begin by mixing the Borax and hot water until dissolved. Set aside.

2. Add the glue and shaving cream together until a fluff forms. The consistency of marshmallow fluff is what you are after.

3. Start adding tablespoons of the Borax and water mixture to the shaving cream and glue mixture. Add a tablespoon at a time until your fluffy slime starts to form. You may not use up all of the Borax mixtures but that is ok!

4. Once you have the consistency you wish, add in as much or as little glitter and gravel as you like. The more you add, the crunchier and shinier it will be!
5. Continue to knead the slime to get the glitter and gravel to mix in well.

You can then play with your crunchy snow slime or store it in an air container until ready to use. Add it to a mason jar with a fun winter shaped cookie cutter and a pretty ribbon for a great kids gift idea.
