Fizztastic St. Patrick’s Day Slime: Shamrock Slime! ☘️

Get ready for a slime-tastic St. Patrick’s Day experiment! Today, we’re making a green slime that glitters like a leprechaun’s cauldron! This experiment is a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day while exploring polymers and chemical reactions. Plus, we’ll discover how God transformed St. Patrick’s life and how He can work through us, too!


Fizzlebop Supply List:

• ½ cup (120 mL) clear school glue
• ½ cup (120 mL) warm water
• ½ tsp (2.5 g) baking soda
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) saline solution (contact lens solution with boric acid)
• 1 tbsp (15 g) baking soda
• Green food coloring
• Gold glitter (for some pot of gold fun!✨)
• Mixing bowl
• Spoon
• Measuring spoons
• Small cup

The Experiment:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the glue and warm water. Stir well.
2. Add a few drops of green food coloring and gold glitter for that extra leprechaun sparkle! ✨
3. Stir in ½ tsp of baking soda—this helps the slime form.
4. Slowly mix in 1 tbsp of saline solution, stirring continuously. The slime should start to pull away from the bowl. Keep kneading with your hands until it’s stretchy and smooth.
5. Pour the baking soda-citric acid mix onto your slime and watch it fizz and bubble!

“Dr. Fizzlebop, what’s happening?”
This slime is a polymer, which means it’s made up of long, stretchy molecules. When we added saline solution, the boric acid in it cross-linked the glue molecules, turning the liquid mixture into stretchy, gooey slime!

Devotional:
St. Patrick’s TransformationDid you know St. Patrick’s life completely changed—just like the ingredients in our slime experiment?

When he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave, his life seemed messy and uncertain. But instead of losing hope, he trusted God. Later, he returned to Ireland—not for revenge, but to share the love of Jesus!

Just like our slime formed from a few special ingredients, God can transform us, too! He takes our fears, mistakes, and challenges and turns them into something amazing—just like He did with St. Patrick!

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT) says, “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

So, when life feels messy or uncertain, remember--God is working behind the scenes to shape us into something incredible!

Prayer Time:
Thank You, God, for showing us how You transform lives—just like You did with St. Patrick! Help us trust You, even when things seem messy or uncertain. Let us shine for You in everything we do! ☘️✨ Amen!
