INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND ADULTS
Dear Parents,
With this kit, you will be helping your child experiment with glowing galaxy slime.
Please read these instructions together with your child, follow them and keep them for
reference. Only carry out the experiments listed in the instructions. Do not allow the
slime powder and the finished slime to come into contact with the eyes or mouth. Please
remind your child to wash his or her hands thoroughly after the experiments and after
handling the slime. This set is for use only by children over 7 years. For use under adult
supervision. Therefore store it out of reach of children under 7 years old and animals. This
includes the slime powder, the finished slime, and the materials in the set.
Look for a good place to do the experiments. The area surrounding the experiment
should be kept clear of any obstructions and away from the storage of food. Use a solid
table with a top that can easily be cleaned. The working area should be cleaned up
immediately after carrying out the activity. Also clean all equipment (e.g., the spatula)
after use and thoroughly wash your hands. The slime powder should be used up
(completely) during the course of the experiment. Open the packets of slime powder and
glitter with scissors — never with your teeth. While experimenting, please be careful
not to create dust of the powder. Do not eat or drink in the experimental area and while
doing the experiments. The slime may cause stains that can’t be washed out of clothing.
Therefore wear suitable clothes that can get stained and keep the materials away from
table clothes, curtains, and carpets. Store the finished slime in the test tube to prevent it
from drying out and to prevent it from sticking on the surface. Dispose off all materials
in this kit in the household trash, as well as the slime when it gets dirty, liquefies, or dries
out.
We hope you and your child have a lot of fun with the glowing galaxy slime!

2. MIXING THE SLIME
3. Fill the test tube
with 75 ml of water.
To measure this, use
the test tube guide
printed here to make
a mark on the test
tube. Fill the test
tube up to the line
with water. (You can
also just eyeball it.)
4. Open the packet of
slime powder using
a pair of scissors. Do
not use your teeth.

get the powder in your mouth
or eyes!

3. MIXING THE SLIME
5. Pour all of the powder
slowly into the test
tube and avoid creating
airborne dust.
6. Use the scissors to
open the star glitter
packet. Pour it into
the tube.
7. Use the scissors to
open the black glitter
packet. Pour it into the
tube.
8. Use the wooden
spatula to mix
everything into the
water.
TIP! Depending
on the amount
of water, the
slime may be
a little firmer.
Moisten your
hands with
water and
knead it well
into the slime
so you can make
it slimier!

4. MAKE IT TWINKLE AND GLOW
9. After everything is mixed into the
water, close the test tube with the lid
and shake it for 30 seconds. Let the
contents sit, shaking the tube every
few minutes, until they have solidified.
This takes about 15–20 minutes. After
the contents have solidified, you can
open up the test tube and have fun
experimenting with the slime.
10. Hold the test tube with the slime
under a lamp or in sunlight and
move it back and forth. You will see
a sparkling play of colors. The small
pieces of glitter in the slime reflect
the light shining on their surfaces.
11. Now place the slime under a light
source, like a light bulb, for a few
minutes. Then bring the slime into a
dark room. What happens?
Disposal: Your glitter
slime liquefies and
disintegrates after 4
days. Dispose of it in a
paper towel in the trash!

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
The shine of the glitter is created
when the small surfaces of the
star glitter pieces reflect the light
in different directions. The light
changes color with the movement
of the observer or the object. If the
color of the reflected light changes,
this is called iridescence.
As for the glowing effect, a solid
substance that lights up when
exposed to energy, like light or electricity,
is called a phosphor. A phosphor can be phosphorescent,
which stays glowing after the energy source is removed, or
fluorescent, which only glows while the energy is present and
for a brief moment after. The reason that a phosphorescent
material glows after the light source has been removed is
because the molecules in the material store the incoming light
energy and then gradually emit it in the form of light.
