How to Make Scented Slime

These scented slime is a super fun project to make with your kids, and you can choose whichever scent to add.

Here we are making pineapple slime, with “pineapple” chunks and all.

To make this slime you will need the following supplies:

• 1 cup of hot water
• ¼ cup room temperature water
• 5 oz container of clear glue
• ⅓ tsp Borax
• Pineapple scent – we made a pineapple slime, you can use any scent you want.
• Bath bomb coloring – we used a mix of lemon and sunset yellow.
• Light golden yellow glitter
• Magic eraser

Instructions

Step 1: To make your scented slime pour one cup of hot water in a container and add ⅓ tsp of borax. Mix well.

Step 2: In a second bowl or container, fill with ¼ cup room temperature water. Squeeze an entire bottle (5 oz) of clear glue then mix in your coloring.

P.S. After testing many coloring technique for slime we have switched to soap/bath bomb colorings. The color is great and they don’t stain your hands while playing with the slime like the food coloring did! For this particular project we used a mix of sunset yellow and lemon.

Step 3: Pour in some glitter and mix it together.

Step 4: Using a large scissor cut about half of a magic eraser into small chunks. Yes, you guessed it right; these are the pineapple pieces! You don’t have to use an entire eraser but you can add more chunks later depending on the amount of slime you are making.

Put your “pineapple chunks”into the mix and coat them until they color well.

Step 4: Add several drops of pineapple scent to your mixture.

Step 5: Now it is time to pour the glue mixture into the water and borax mixture. Let it sit for 30 seconds. You will see the slime begin to form.

Step 6: Rinse your glue container quickly or get a third container. Remove the slime from the water and put it in your clean container.

It will be sticky at first, that’s ok! Knead the slime. If needed, splash a bit of the borax/water on it until it becomes the consistency that you want it.

It is ready to play!!

Don’t forget to store your slime in an airtight container to preserve it and to be able to play with it for longer.
