Hi Everyone,
I’m so excited to share with you these two fabulous book crafts for the Zaria Fierce Series. Today you’ll get learn how to make different colored slime to represent characters from the books, and you’ll learn how to create you’re own Kettupeli board game, which is from the second book in the series.
Slime:
Learn to make colorful slime in this video made by Michele Carpenter, narrator of the Zaria Fierce Series, and her kids. There’s orange slime for Aleks Mickelsen, purple with gold glitter slime for Zaria Fierce, green slime for trolls, and white and silver glitter slime for white ravens.
Ingredients:
- Face peel mask
- Lotion
- Liquid starch
- Food coloring or acrylic paint
- Glitter
- Jars to make and store these slimes
The ratios are loose. Normally Michele and her kids just wing it. It’s best if you mix the glue, food coloring, and other ingredients all together before adding the liquid starch. Liquid starch should always be last, except before glitter. Glitter can go in at the end.

Kettupeli Instructions:
Watch the video for a quick overview of creating the game. You’ll see the finish layout and see how it’s all put together. It’s pretty simple, but a lot of fun!
You’ll need:
- 52 spools
- 51 small dowels – it’s important that they fit into the spools
- 51 small clothespins
- 51 black seed beads – or tiny puff balls
- Paint – black, red, blue, green, yellow, and white
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue
- Recommended to get a box that can fit the spools, but you can also create your Kettupeli board on a piece of wood, or poster board.
All these materials can be found in a craft store or down a craft aisle at a big box store.
Pegs:
- 30 Black
- 10 Red
- 5 Blue

Instructions on how to play the game can be found within book two of the Zaria Fierce Series, Zaria Fierce and the Enchanted Drakeland Sword.
