Description
An enchanting craft recipe perfect for spooky season fun or sensory play activities year-round.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white school glue
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lotion (recommended for softness)
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1–2 tablespoons contact lens solution (ensure it’s boric acid-based)
- Food coloring (preferably white, green, or purple for a ghostly effect)
- Air-tight storage container
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by choosing a clean, flat surface for crafting and gathering all materials.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue with 1 cup of water. Stir thoroughly until well blended.
- Add 1 cup of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of lotion to the glue mixture. Mix well until you get a smooth, clump-free consistency.
- Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of baking soda and stir until incorporated. Slowly add 1-2 tablespoons of contact lens solution, mixing continuously until the mixture starts to form.
- Once it pulls away from the edges, knead the mixture by hand for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s stretchy and soft but not sticky.
- If desired, add food coloring and knead until the color is evenly distributed.
- Store your Ghost Mud in an air-tight container when done playing to ensure freshness.
Notes
You can add scents, glitters, or even make it edible by replacing glue with pudding for a safe taste test.
