Christmas Slime

EQ4Kids • December 6, 2019

We’re excited to be getting into the Christmas spirit here. And we couldn’t wait to share these adorable Christmas Slime jars with you! These would make fun Christmas gifts or would even just be a fun Christmas activity for kids to do. You can make all 3 or make just one of them!

Ingredients Needed to Make Christmas Slime

Repeat each of the below for each color (you’ll need to make 1 batch each if you want to make each slime jar)

Per batch/Jar: 
  • 1 bottle of Elmer’s glue (180ml) – we used white (2 bottles) and glitter green and repeated the recipe 3 times. Note: we made this with Elmer’s glue. It is recommended you do not substitute with other glue as the make-up may not be the same and the recipe may not work
  • Brown food coloring for the Rudolph slime jar. At this to your glue before following our slime recipe steps.
    *Note: the food coloring may stain, use wax paper to cover your table when playing with it and avoid contact with anything you do not want stained.
  • 1/2 TSP of Baking Soda
  • 1½ TBSP of Contact lens solution. **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime.
  • Optional: add 1 TBSP of water to your glue before adding baking soda if you’d like a stretchier slime

Helping Kids Deal with Fear Through Emotional Intelligence
By Antoinette Steyn February 6, 2025
Fear is a natural and universal emotion that everyone experiences at some point. For children, fear can stem from a variety of sources—whether it’s the fear of the dark, separation from parents, new social situations, or fears of failure. While fear is a protective emotion designed to keep us safe, when it becomes overwhelming or persistent, it can hinder a child’s emotional growth and daily functioning. Teaching children how to manage and cope with fear through emotional intelligence (EQ) can help them face challenges confidently and build resilience in the process.
