    Thanks for the fun ideas ! We made 'Arctic slime' with white glue and glitter for a birthday party last week and it was a hit. Your troubleshooting tips were super helpful too :)

    Do you have any idea of how long the slime should last? It seems to vary quite a bit among the sites listed. Thanks!

      It will vary a bit depending on your humidity, how gross it gets (hands, floor, etc), and what you've added to it (some ingredients like scents cause it to turn faster)...but a safe bet is at least 2 weeks. We've had some last 6 weeks or more.

    For the glitter slime, would you know if the glitter sticks to the hand or stays on the slime? Thank you!

      It depends a bit on what type of glitter you add and how much, but in our experience a small amount can come off on your hands as you play. I hope that helps!

      Awesome! Just soak any trouble spots in vinegar and you should be able to peel the slime right off! :)
