Birdseed Slime Recipe

Step 1: Gather your supplies

Start by gathering all the supplies needed to make your birdseed slime. Having everything laid out ahead of time keeps the process calm and messes to a minimum.

Step 2: Dissolve the baking soda

Pour the warm water into your bowl, then add the baking soda. Stir until the baking soda is fully dissolved and the mixture looks evenly combined.

Step 3: Add the glue

Pour the clear glue into the bowl with the water and baking soda mixture. Stir well until everything is fully combined and the mixture looks uniform.

Step 4: Add the birdseed

Add the birdseed to the mixture and stir until it’s evenly distributed throughout. You’ll start to see the texture change right away as the seeds mix in.

Step 5: Add the contact solution

Add the contact solution and stir until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is no longer sticky. If needed, use your hands to gently knead the slime until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Take it slow here. A little contact solution goes a long way.

Once the slime is formed, it’s ready to stretch, squish, and explore. Let kids pull it apart, press in their fingers, or watch the birdseed shift and move inside the slime. Slime can be stored in a resealable zip-top bag or an airtight plastic container when playtime is over.
