All Natural Slime Recipe Tutorial

I recommend getting the kids involved to help make the slime, as it’s a fun learning project and will get them thinking creatively.

Natural Slime Tips & Tricks

Our kitchen resembled a mad scientist’s lab by the end of this experiment with slime in various conditions and stages all over the place. Along the way we learned a lot about what not to do. Here are some tips:

DO NOT STIR!! It is tempting but don’t do it!

Watch the pot closely and don’t put the heat up too high. A watched pot might not boil, but an unwatched pot of slime on high heat will boil over.

Since we weren’t eating it, we just used liquid food coloring, but I plan to try turmeric, spinach powder, and beet powder like I have used in playdough.

This slime makes a small batch. I tried doubling the recipe and it didn’t work.

Let the slime cool completely, for a few hours if possible, to let it set up the best. Once it is handled, it will not set anymore.
