Let’s face it, special needs parents can’t just take off a month of therapy for the holidays usually. If you’re gonna do therapy for fine motor work, why not make it fun by using Christmas themed items like this easy to make Grinch slime.
You should be doing occupational therapy at home regardless of whether your child receives in center therapy. Temple Grandin has said in every speech that I have heard her give that an autistic child needs to be working on therapy goals every day. Substitute autistic for any special need and you get the idea. Therapy at home need not be challenging. Fun things like slime are perfect.
Items Needed For Grinch Slime
- 1 (6 ounce) bottle Elmer’s Glue in green ( https://amzn.to/2oMtCHl )
- About ¼ cup warm water
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ tablespoon contact lens solution (containing boric acid)
- About 1 ½ tablespoon glitter (if desired)

Instructions For Grinch Slime
- Empty the glue into a large bowl.
- Fill the empty glue bottle about ⅓ full with warm water (about ¼ cup) and seal with the lid. Shake well to combine the remaining glue with the water. Pour into bowl with glue and stir to combine.
- Add the baking soda to the glue and stir to mix thoroughly.
- If you are adding additional glitter or confetti, stir the glitter into the glue mixture.
- Add contact lens solution to the glue mixture and stir well. (Note: regular glue will require less contact lens solution than glitter glue. Add the contact lens solution slowly, mixing between additions, and add only enough to bring the glue together into a soft ball.)
- Remove the slime from the bowl allowing any excess liquid to remain in the bowl. The slime will be sticky. Begin to play with the slime, kneading it as you would bread dough, to bring the slime together. The slime is ready when no longer sticky.
- Best if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator when not in use.
