Ocean Slime Recipe

1 1/2 cups hot water
blue food coloring
blue glitter – optional
fish bowl – optional
ocean animals – optional

How to Make Ocean Slime

In a large mixing bowl combine a 1/2 cup of clear glue with 1/2 cup of very hot water and mix well. Now mix a 1/2 teaspoon of borax into your remaining 1 cup of hot water and stir to dissolve borax powder completely; add in blue food coloring and glitter if you like. Mix the two bowls together and stir to form slime. Use your hands to contineu mixing to incorporate as much as the borax-water mixture as possible. Then pour out the excess water and you are ready to PLAY. Store your slime in an airtight container until you are ready to use.

Under the Sea Slime

How you play is totally up to you and your kids. I love open ended play that lets kids explore their creativity! We use ocean animas, sea shells, sand, and a fish bowl when we play.

Ocean Activity for Kids

The texture of this slime recipe is perfectly slimey with an almost translucent color. The see through color is perfect for seeing ocean animals in a more realistic, but fun ocean activity for all ages. Kids will probabaly spend the first while just exploring the slime as it sheets, flows, squishes, etc.

Ocean Activities

Now we like to add sea shells. It is fun to try various different shapes and sizes. You can burry them, make imprints, etc.

Slime Activity for Preschoolers

We add a wide assortment of ocean animals from sea stars, crabs, octopus, whales, fish, dolphins, sharks, and more!

Ocean Activities for Preschoolers

My kids love adding sand for the layered look, but remember the sand will start to embed in the slime so although that is a sensation and fun on it’s own – the pretty blue slime look will not last once you add some fun beach sand to the equation.

Another option to get the layered look is to put the pretty blue slime in the bowl with your sea creatures while leaving the sand and sa shells under the bowl. This gives kids the best of both worlds.

No matter how you play, you will love this engaging ocean activity for preschool and elementary age students to explore the amazing world of ocean animals!

Whether you use this along with a beach theme this summer or an ocean unit this winter, you will love this fun ocean scene project for kids of all ages!
