How to Make Slime for Kids

By Dirty Blogging


Slime sometimes called "Gak" or "Oobleck" is a glob of goo that feels cool and creepy to touch. To explain, it's gross enough for kids to totally like it. You should purchase it at the store, of course, but you are able to save some money and make slime at home. While borax is typically used to make slime, an alternative it to make it using cornstarch for a superbly nasty- and totally non-toxic- slime that works well for your child39;s party, a Halloween party, a study room activity or simply to entertain the children on a wet day.

Cornstarch Slime :

1 and 1/2 cups (350ml) of water

3 to 4 drops of food colourising

2 cups cornstarch

1 tsp cream of tarter

Add 1-1/2 cups (350ml) of water to a little pan. Heat till the water is warm although not hot or boiling. You don39;t want to use boiling water because then you must wait for it to chill before it is easy to use your hands to mix the slime.



Pour 1 cup (250 ml) of the halfhearted water into a bowl. Add three to 4 drops of green food colourising until the water is about a shade darker than you want the slime to be. When you make the slime, the colour will be watered down a bit. Mix the water well with a spoon.

Measure 2 cups (140g/500ml) of cornstarch. Cornstarch is commonly known as cornflour in the UK and some place else. Place it into a new large-sized bowl.

Empty the coloured water into the bowl with the cornstarch. Tip the coloured water in slowly. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients together. Comprehensively blend the mixture into the consistency of a thick paste.

Control the consistency of the slime. You are able to add more cornstarch if the slime is too thin. Add more lukewarm water from the amount remaining in the pan if the mix is too thick. This is a case of preference.

Carry on doing this as much as needed to acquire a mixture that39;s of the right slimy consistency for your wishes. You'll be able to put your fingers into the mix simply. When you run your finger along the slime's surface, it should feel dry.

Add items to the slime to make it additional fun (optional). You need to use rubber worms, plastic insects or eyeballs, etc. This is a great idea for a Halloween party, a science party or for a party or camp completely based on nature or environmental themes.

Place your slime into a plastic bag. Seal the bag well to put it aside.
