Recipe highlights
A Large Bowl
A large plastic bowl is the perfect size for making slime. You won't need a lot of space to work with, and you can see the ingredients better as you're mixing them together.
See ProductA Plastic Spoon or Spatula
You will need a large plastic spoon for stirring the ingredients together. Plastic is a better choice than wood because the slime won't stick as much and is easier to clean.
See ProductA Mesuring Cup
You'll need measuring cups to get the correct proportions of each ingredient. We recommend using liquid measuring cups so that you can easily get the right amount when making slime with kids.

If you want to save your slime for more than one day, store it in an airtight container. A mason jar or similar container will keep your slime from drying out and losing its glossy sheen. Plastic bags are ok but won't last as long.
