Clay Slime Recipe for Your Slime Collection

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we’re big fans of kitchen science and we’ve shared quite a few of our favorite slime recipes. We always have clay on hand here at Ruffles and Rain Boots – polymer clay, air dry clay, and my daughter’s favorite, Model Magic from Crayola.

This fun slime made with the soft Model Magic and is perfect for little hands. We played with it for about an hour before deciding we should watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a family movie night.

Model Magic Slime Recipe Ingredients

If you have a crafty kid, you might have everything you need on hand. As always, you can add a soap scent or child-friendly essential oil to the mix to gently scent this recipe.

NOT: If you choose to use Borax, mix 1/2 teaspoon with a small amount of water. Add it very slowly, as we’ve had mixed results with the Borax vs the contact solution for this recipe.
