Prepare Your Workspace

Mix Glue and Water

Add Color (Optional)

Incorporate Liquid Starch
- Slowly add liquid starch into the glue mixture while stirring continuously. You’ll notice the slime beginning to form almost immediately.
Incorporate Crunchy Foam Beads
- Once your slime has reached the desired consistency, fold in the crunchy foam beads. This is where the fun factor truly shines!
Knead the Slime
- Using your hands, knead the slime for a few minutes until it reaches a smooth and elastic texture.
- Tips & Variations
- Color Combinations: Experiment with different colors to create swirled or patterned slime.
- Ingredient Swaps: If you don’t have liquid starch, you can try contact lens solution mixed with baking soda as an alternative.
- Add-ins: Enhance the sensory experience by adding glitter, confetti, or small plastic toys for a surprise element.
- Make it Glow: Add glow-in-the-dark paint or pigments for slime that glows, especially exciting for nighttime play!
