Adding just a little bit of water to your glue fixes this problem. Then, you add more liquid starch until the slime is no longer sticky. The biggest problem with using just glue and liquid starch is that it often requires a lot of kneading. Check out this post from Fun at Home with Kids for ways to fix your slime if it’s not working out. The exact amounts vary depending on humidity and other environmental factors, but a 1:1 ratio of glue to liquid starch is always a good place to start. Combining glue and liquid starch in about equal amounts will give you great slime every time. Many of the slime recipes add water to their glue. Water (technically optional but it will make things easier).Washable liquid watercolors (you can also use food coloring but food coloring can stain).Liquid starch (find this in the laundry aisle).For a taste safe version of slime, try making oobleck. Other slime recipes have different ingredients so be sure you understand the safety requirements before using those. While the ingredients I use (glue and liquid starch) are technically non-toxic and safe for everyone to handle, I don’t think it’s good practice to allow kids to eat it. Slime should only be used with kids that won’t eat it. Once finished wash your hands to get rid of any residue (glue and liquid starch can dry skin). Safety note: Always supervise the making and playing of slime.

So today I’m sharing a Halloween version. I like our space slime and valentine’s glitter slime. There a ton of different slime recipes out there currently and to be honest I haven’t tried any of them. The slime recipe is really simple and almost always works perfectly. It was always a favorite with my elementary students.

I’ve been making this slime recipe for years. This recipe is perfect for making in individual batches.
