If you are looking for the best easy slime recipes kids love you’ve come to the right place! Because we’ve gathered 50 of the best slime recipes for kids right here. Did you have any idea before this week that schools will let kids take slime into the classroom for tactical sensory input?

I didn’t even realize slime was a huge trend among tweens and teens until I found out that my sister was struggling to find white glue in the huge town where she lives so that her tween could make slime with her friends this weekend! There is a glue shortage – because kids are going crazy over slime. Even Amazon is having trouble keeping up with demand!

And with good reason. Slime is an ooey, gooey, sticky, sensory delight that kids have been playing with for ages. The best kids slime recipe can actually help your child focus on his schoolwork or calm down from a tantrum — and it’s fun too!

Slime Recipes without Glue

Given the white glue shortage, now is the perfect time to play around with slime recipes without glue for your kids. If you don’t want to use glue in your slime you actually have some really good options in these recipes using saline, eye drops, play dough, conditioner, and other non-glue options.
