If you want to send kids home with a bit of slime from a camp, party, or classroom project, I would suggest packages of reusable containers from the dollar store or grocery store or even Amazon. Make sure to keep your slime clean and it will last for several weeks. We use reusable containers in either plastic or glass. Slime lasts quite a while! I get a lot of questions regarding how I store my slime. NOTE: We have found that Elmer’s specialty glues tend to be a bit stickier than Elmer’s regular clear or white glue, and so for this type of glue we always prefer our 2 ingredient basic glitter slime recipe. We have tested all these recipes with equal success! Now if you don’t want to use liquid starch, you can absolutely test out one of our other basic recipes using saline solution or borax powder. Click on the link to see if any of these will work! Our saline solution slime recipe also works well for Australian, Canadian and UK readers. This is a pretty common question from those who live outside of the United States, and we do have some alternatives to share with you. But what if I don’t have liquid starch available to me? You can also find liquid starch on Amazon, Walmart, Target, and even craft stores. You might also see Sta-Flo as a popular option.

We pick up our liquid starch in the grocery store!Ĭheck the laundry detergent aisle and look for the bottles marked starch. It is the liquid starch in the slime recipe below that acts as the slime activator.
