DIY Crunchy Slime
DIY Crunchy Slime
My kids, like most, absolutely love making and playing with slime especially my 7-year-old. This slime is similar to the pink glitter slime I shared on the blog except it’s a little fluffier and of course crunchy!
I recently bought a kit on Amazon that contained all kinds of fun craft items. I wasn’t sure what we were going to use it all for at first, but I knew we could put it to good use! (you can find it on Amazon here). Turns out it is perfect for making this DIY crunchy slime!
It includes pom poms, fishbowl beads, decorative fruit slices, and several packages of crunchy floam beads.This kit will give us lots of items for fun craft projects to keep the kids busy over the summer.
The styrofoam beads are perfect to make crunchy slime! Of course, my daughter decided on using the pink floam beads for this slime! You can use any color or add in you choose. You can also purchase the floam beads separately here or find them at most craft stores such as mychaels.
