Ready for your No Mess Kids Party-Easy Slime Recipe? If you’re anything like me, just thinking about having a kids party and all the mess is enough to give me hives.

I have some trouble shooting tips as well so keep reading.

No Mess Kids Party – Easy Slime Recipe

When you have kids then you have parties. Lots of birthday parties and other special occasions like New Year’s Eve parties, Christmas parties, Valentine’s Day parties and so on. Making no mess kids parties are always my goal. Then adding and easy slime recipe into the mix makes each occasion very fun and hopefully not stressful.

Ok so our daughter is master pro at making slime and your kid probably is too or wants to get to this status. There are some things to know. First- parents, go take an Ativan (Just kidding, I don’t believe in self medication or drinking just to cope.) But it’s a little saying us parents say just in hopes we can stay sane with all this party stuff.

Second I would use a disposable table cloth and all disposal supplies so you can wrap up all the mess into one heap and throw away. Saving the slime in cute sealable containers for later. See the farmhouse beaded light and the wood charcuterie board? Those are both available in my shop, the charcuterie board is great on clean up. If one of the girls spilled a little, it wiped off easy. Now adding lotion to your slime makes it so smooth and it smells really great. This is my daughters favorite kind, I will tell you more below.

Don’t worry parents, we have not had slime stick to carpets or furniture when this recipe is made right. But we also don’t have three year olds that tend to get stuff all over. Let’s go over your supply list and then get started. In the supply list I provided what you will need for each recipe. As well as some extra goodies like glitter. Oh and if you aren’t looking to check out all the ingredients, I included a couple slime making kits as well.

Either replace the glue with glitter glue or add desired amount of glitter.

Heathy Slime ( for those wanting a natural solution)- These are all natural ingredients and will not harm your children.

In a pot mix 2 cups of water, I Tbsp organic natural powder, 1 tsp cornstarch, and food coloring.

Bring to a gentle boil for 5 minutes. Do not stir. Remove from heat for about 2 minutes. Repeat the boiling and cooling step three more times.

Test the mixture to see if it is like slime, if it is not repeat the step one more time. Let it cool completely for about 3 hours.

Trouble shooting and tips for the best slime recipe.

TIP- Add more saline solution if you have any stickiness. Go little bits at a time till smooth.

*Lotion makes it stretchy so add 1 teaspoon of lotion. This helps make you easy slime recipe smell really good.

*Keep away from wee little kids and furniture but I’m pretty sure if they are monitored that they would love to play with it as it’s much like play dough but less messy.

*Glitter slime does not get glitter all over. It stays nicely in the glitter, so you won’t find glitter all over.

This can keep them busy for a very long time. I also have a post that has 13 different Christmas break crafts, perfect for the long break.
