How To Make All-Natural Slime with Essential Oils
Making the slime was super easy. Within the directions, there is a microwave option and a stovetop option. I decided it would be easier for me to do the stovetop recipe. This was my first time making this slime recipe, and because of that, I decided to try it myself before I involved the kids. It was so easy, next time I will have my boys help me.
The process of making this slime is so fun, as soon as the slime was done boiling it was in one large clump. After I finished boiling and adding the oil I dumped the slime into a glass bowl so it could finish cooling. I let the slime cool for about 20 minutes before I let my boys start trying it out.

Essential Oil Slime Fun
Slime is one of those things where you either love it or you hate it. Because my oldest son has never liked anything sticky or gooey since birth, I knew he wouldn’t touch it. I can remember taking him to the play center and encouraging him to play with the playdough, in other words, he wanted nothing to do with it.
My younger son loves to play with anything and everything messy. As a result, he searches out the mess!
