Christmas Slime

"Whip up a batch of this glittery Christmas slime with the kids! Slime makes a great, squishy pastime and when you add in festive colors it makes it that much more enticing. Slime is an awesome activity that kids go crazy over. Add some Christmas cheer to the mix with green and red colors and some pretty glitter to help them get into the Christmas spirit! We love the idea of using this slime as a homemade gift idea as well. Pack them into jars and tie a bow on top to make a fun gift to give to nieces, nephews, or your own children (a great stocking stuffer!) The kids will enjoy making a batch for their friends for the holidays as well!"
