Making the Slime

Mix one part water and one part glue in a container. We like using jars, because it helps the slime mix well and doesn’t splash. 

Add a few drops of pink food coloring and some glitter. Stir to mix everything together.

Add one part starch to the glue mixture. It should start to form slime right away. Use a fork to stir the slime and keep stirring until the slime sticks to the fork and starts to climb the handle. 

Once that happens, remove the slime. It will still be sticky. Stretch and pull the slime until it smooths out and is no longer sticky. It’s ready to play with!

Making the Valentines

If you are using plastic zipper baggies, cut off the zipper part before adding the slime. Use string or the ribbon to tie the bag up tightly so the slime can’t escape.
 
Fill each bag with 1/4 cup of slime. Tie the bags tightly with ribbon. 
 
Cut out some hearts from the red paper and punch a hole in one side of each heart. String the hearts around the ribbon and tie into a pretty bow.

Write a fun message on the heart for your recipient. We’re fans of “Happy Valen-slime’s Day!”
