Children just seem to love slime! While some of us might be experts at making homemade slime, some are still looking for a great recipe, and that’s where PLASP can help!

Aside from simply being fun to play with, slime can also act as a great stress reliever. Making the slime itself allows children to participate in a science experiment, and the end result allows for fine motor skill development as children pop, pinch, poke and stretch the slime!

What You Will Need 

• ¼ Cup of Elmer’s White Glue (substitutions are okay depending on the type of glue)
• ½ Cup of Cornstarch
• Food Coloring (various colors)  
• Bowl 
• Microwave 

Process

• Pour 1/4 cup of Elmer’s white glue into a bowl with a few drops of food coloring. Mix the two together until the color becomes consistent.
• Add ½ cup of cornstarch to the glue mixture.
• Knead it with your hands for 5-10 minutes.
• Once kneaded, place the bowl into the microwave for 20 seconds. Be sure to let it cool before the next step.
• Once cooled, knead the slime for another 5-10 minutes until it becomes stretchy.

Tip:

Be patient. At first the slime will be sticky, but that’s okay! It will settle and become easier to work with.
