Step 2: Grab all your supplies from your DIY kit, and gather the following items:

• Bowl
• Spoon or Spatula
• Measuring Spoon (1 teaspoon)
• Lotion (any kind!)

Step 3: Empty bottle of school glue into your empty bowl.

Step 4: Add 2 squirts of lotion.

Step 5: (Optional) Add 2-3 drops of Gingerbread scent.

Step 6: Stir together!

Step 7: Add 1 teaspoon of activator.

Step 8: Mix THOROUGHLY!

Step 9: Add another teaspoon of activator, mix again!

At this point, the slime may look stringy and/or clumpy, that's okay! Trust the process and keep stirring as vigorously as possible. It may feel like it takes a while to fully incorporate, just stick with it! 

Step 10: Add a third teaspoon of activator, mix thoroughly. 

Step 11: Use the 1 finger test to test the slime and see if it is sticky.

Step 12: If it sticks to you, add another 1/2 teaspoon of activator.

Step 13: Mix again.

Step 14: Continue adding until the slime is no longer sticky. This is your BASE slime. 

Step 15: Grab your BROWN clay, and now you get to have fun! Use the cookie cutter to make yourself a little gingerbread person. 

Tip: Prime the cookie cutter with activator before letting it touch the clay, this will help it come out more smoothly. 

Step 16: Use the toppings to decorate your person, you can design it any way you'd like. We included a photo at the bottom for inspiration. 

Optional: Mix it together with your slime and enjoy the lovely clay fizz!
