Pink Kinetic Sand Slime Recipe

This 3 ingredient pink kinetic sand slime recipe is the perfect easy craft for kids. It’s a borax free slime that’s super stretchy and can also be made with sand from the beach!

The Fun of Slime

My kids have loved slime for years now. Maybe it’s the texture. I think it’s just a lot of fun to put these random ingredients in a bowl and create something so different.

Sometimes slime comes out really stretchy and soft. And other times it comes out really slimy and gooey. So there’s a bit of problem-solving involved in slime-making too.

But this sand slime comes out perfect every single time!

How to Make Sand Slime

Sand slime is a super basic craft that anyone can make! It involves getting your hands dirty – literally. But it is so fun too, that you and your kids won’t mind.

You have to mix the glue and the liquid starch together until you have an ideal consistency. I’ll walk you through all the steps with pictures.

Sand Slime Ingredients

First, here are the ingredients you will need.

That’s it!

Can you use beach sand?

Yes, you can use beach sand. It won’t come out in the bright pink color, but it is free, so why not!

Supplies

Here are the supplies you’ll need.

Large bowl
Rubber spatula

Just those two things. Oh and make sure you do this either outside or someplace that is easy to clean. (I wouldn’t recommend doing this craft over the carpet since it involves loose sand).

Pink Kinetic Sand Slime Directions

Here is how to make your own sand slime out of pink kinetic sand. I also have a printable card with all the directions too, so pin this post before you forget.

1. Stir the Glue

The first step is to begin pouring the glue in the bowl.

2. Mix in the Liquid Starch

Mix some liquid starch into the glue.

3. Use Your Hands to Mix

You’ll see it start to form a ball. But to really get the consistency just right, you’ll have to use your hands. If you notice it is too sticky, add more starch. If it is too goopy, add more glue.

4. Begin Adding Sand

The fun part! When you get a perfect consistency, add your pink sand. Add it little by little. The more sand you add, the brighter the color will be.

Where to buy kinetic sand

You can find kinetic sand at any craft shop. Or you can get it from Amazon here!

Other Types of Slime

This kinetic sand slime is just one of a huge variety of slime recipes! Here are some of my favorite slime ideas.

Can you make slime without glue?

Yes, you can make slime without glue! My favorite version is from Little Bins for Little Hands. Their recipe only calls for guar gum, baking soda, water, saline solution, and food coloring.

Slime Hacks and Uses

Slime is actually great for cleaning! After you make my sand slime, rub it on your keyboard and watch it pick up all those little pieces of dust and dirt. It is able to smoosh into the crevices other cleaning tools miss.
