Description
A quick and fun sensory project for kids using simple pantry ingredients to create stretchy, moldable slime.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup liquid dish soap (clear or white)
- Optional: food coloring
- Optional: cosmetic-grade glitter
- Optional: 1–2 drops of diluted essential oil
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup of cornstarch into a medium mixing bowl and level it off.
- If using food coloring, stir it into the measured 1/2 cup of dish soap until evenly tinted.
- Add the 1/2 cup dish soap to the cornstarch and stir slowly.
- As the mixture thickens, switch to using your hands to press it together until it forms a dough-like mass.
- Adjust texture: if it crumbles, add more dish soap; if too sticky, sprinkle in more cornstarch.
- Knead for 2–5 minutes to develop elasticity and fold in glitter or essential oil if desired.
- Store the finished slime in an airtight container after playtime.
Notes
Keep all ingredients out of reach of small children when not supervised. This slime is for tactile play only and is not food.
