The slime craze isn’t over yet, and it seems like there’s always a way to make it new and novel for kids. Travis went bananas for this slime monster he could trap in a jar!

To make the slime, stir together 1/2 cup glue, 1 tablespoon baking soda, and a few drops of food coloring. We decided on an orange monster, so mixed together some red and yellow drops.

Add 1 teaspoon contact solution and your slime will seize up right away.

Travis loved watching it stretch. And even better, capturing the beast in its jar!

To add monster facial features, we cut out shapes from white and black felt and glued on.

Eek, a monster!

If you like, make a whole batch of these and decorate a windowsill for the upcoming holiday.
