Today’s Halloween Craft<\/a> idea is brought to you by Emma, who has recently discovered that she loves making slime after we were sent a package of products to try from Elmer’s.<\/p>\n

After lots of slime making experimentation, she had the great idea to make some green glitter slime with googly eyes in it – perfect for Halloween!<\/p>\n

Because she is a typical YouTube obsessed 9yo, of course a slime making video tutorial was a must. The “What’s up Youtube?” intro was totally her idea.<\/p>\n

\"Googly<\/p>\n

I love a good googly eye craft; stick a pair googly eyes onto anything and it’s instantly 100% more fun! Add lots of googly eyes and you cross over into creepy, kooky-fun territory.<\/p>\n

This little pile of slime with eyes reminds me of an alien blob monster from a kitschy B-grade drive-in horror movie. It’s kind of cute!<\/p>\n

\"goggly<\/p>\n

Emma particularly enjoys shaking the googly eye slime because the eyes make a cool rattling sound. Left overnight the eyes all float through to the top of the slime like they have a mind of their own. Aptly creepy.<\/p>\n

I can’t say I’m a particularly big fan of the whole slime phenomenon, but the kid seems to love it, and anything that encourages screen free time is OK by me.<\/p>\n

This particular slime recipe is borax-free<\/strong>, so it’s safe for kids to make and play with.<\/p>\n
