What’s better than a good slime recipe? Valentine’s Day Slime! Perfect for the holiday coming up and literally take only 5 minutes to make for hours of fun.

Valentine's Day Slime

Recently I found the BEST slime recipe and we can’t stop making it! It’s only three ingredients, and it’s not sticky or stringy so it doesn’t make a mess! We also like THIS slime recipe too. We just like slime around our house, and if your kids are anything like mine, I’m sure they do too! This is also a great sensory activity, as the different textures are fun for kids to explore.

Valentine’s Day Slime DIY

Disclaimer: Always supervise children under three years of age when playing with Valentine’s Day Slime. The confetti could pose a choking hazard if swallowed.

What you need

Valentine's Day Slime
1/2 cup clear school glue
1/2 cup water
Valentine Confetti (I used this one and it turned out SO pretty!)
1/2 cup Liquid Starch

How to Make Valentine’s Day Slime

In a large bowl, combine the glue and the water and mix until well combined. The water and the glue will mix and will make a thin, runny liquid. Add in your confetti. If you buy the package we suggested above, use about half the package and it should be the right ratio. If not, add a couple of tablespoons of confetti to take your slime from normal slime to Valentine’s Day Slime.


After you have the confetti mixed in, add the half cup of liquid starch and mix. You will notice it starts to change consistency immediately! Keep mixing until it’s no longer sticky. Switch from mixing with a spatula to mixing with your hands. Press and squeeze the Valentine’s Day Slime until it’s no longer sticking to your fingers.


Store your Valentine’s Day Slime in an air-tight container to be able to play with it again and again! If you keep it in a container, it may firm up a bit when stored. If you remove it from its container and squeeze it around for a while, it will get soft and stretchy again. Much like play dough, when cooled, the slime will be a little stiffer and will need to warm up before it’s soft again.

Make Valentine's Day fun for your kids by making this Valentine Slime! My kids love it, and I'm sure your kids will love it too! #valentinesday #slimerecipe #kids #kidscraft #kidsactivity #myhomebasedlife | Valentine Slime | Slime Recipe | Valentine Kids Activity | Valentine Craft | Valentine DIY | Valentine Kids DIY | Valentine Slime Recipe |

    This looks like super fun Marissa! I don’t think any of our kids are having Valentine’s Day parties at school this year, but if they were I would totally package this up in little plastic containers an give it away as a party favor!

    How fun! This would be a great science experiment for a class. I love that it has a more clear appearance than stark white. It helps the glitter shine through.

    We instituted a slime ban last year after quite a few things were damaged. But I think the kids have learned their lesson and are ready to be responsible with it. This slime is so fun with the mixed in confetti. Perfect for a welcoming back to the slime.

    I totally love this brilliant idea! Very artistic, cute and would make an ideal present for fellow kiddos this coming Valentiens day. I definitely will sugest this page to my best friend for her son.

    How much glue do I need to make enough for 20 kids?

      Each batch could be broken up and split between 3 kids- 4 if you do smaller portions. For 20 kids I’d go with about 3.5 cups of each ingredient and use as much confetti as you desire.
