We like to make all kinds of slime here and this galaxy slime is no different! Kids will love making their very own galactic slime mixing these different glittered slimes. And no galaxy slime will look the same, just like real galaxies! The best part is that this slime recipe is easy – only 3 ingredients!

Galaxy Slime
When we think of a galaxy, we think of black primarily but if you look at galaxy images you’ll see vibrant pinks, blues and purples. The colors are quite stunning and this galaxy slime is no different!
We love how glittery each color is – and the best part is you won’t need to add much extra glitter yourself using Elmer’s glitter glue!
You’ll need to make 4 different slime batches to make this Galaxy Slime. One black glittered glue, one blue, one pink and one purple.
Each batch is quick to whip up – only 3 ingredients and uses our top recommended slime activator – contact lens solution.
Ingredients Needed to Make Galaxy Slime
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make one of the colors (if you plan to make all 4 colors you’ll need to grab 4 of each of the ingredient amounts below).
– 1 Bottle of Elmer’s Glitter Glue (6 oz). We used black, blue, purple and pink. Note: We have only tested this with Elmer’s glitter glue and recommend this brand as other brands may not work.
–Â 1 TBSP or more (up to 1 cup) water which will make your slime stretchier. This is optional.
–Â Silver glitter
–Â 1/2 TBSP Baking Soda
– 1½ TBSP of Contact lens solution. **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must contain boric acid and sodium borate. See our full contact solution slime recipe for the brands we recommend.
Galaxy Slime Recipe
This is our favorite part of the galaxy slime – the black glitter glue slime! We added some extra silver glitter to this slime to make it look like it has stars in it. It actually looks like a galaxy with distant stars!
Once you have all of the colors made, you’ll need to line them up together to twist and form your “galaxy”.
Twist your slime together now to form your galaxy! Isn’t it pretty? We will note that the more you mix and play with the slime it will turn into one color. But the glitter glue and extra glitter will still make it look galaxy-worthy!

Made the slime using crayola color glue from the Dollar Tree and added glitter, I kept the rest of the recipe the same and used Walmarts equate Saline Solution. slime came out perfect, Just a note the crayola glue was 3 ounces so I halved the recipe.
Hi, my daughter wants to make slime for her school market day. We were just wondering how long this would ‘keep’ for? Does it harden or separate if made weeks in advance?
I wouldn’t make it weeks in advance it does start to lose its stretchiness after some time. If you can keep it air tight sealed (no air exposed to the slime) then a few days before should be fine.
