Something that has only two ingredients, and I’m game. It is SO uncomplicated to make. I adore it! The crucial ingredient here is the psyllium fiber. I’m not positive if they make Metamucil with out it, But make positive you verify the label first to make confident it’s in there or this experiment will not perform.
I nevertheless had a massive tub of Metamucil in our cupboards from when our kids were born. Ideal immediately after I had my second daughter, (or perhaps it was my first, Man… how crazy is it that I’ve currently forgotten!,) we went to Costco and stocked up on the super sized tubs of Metamucil. You know Costco. The tub was so significant that there was no way we have been going to make it by way of it, no matter how a lot the postpartum adjustment was wreaking havoc on my digestive technique! haha Sorry. Also substantially details. But quickly forward 4 years (or 6 years,) later and I’m glad I kept it in the cupboard!
This Metamucil slime has additional of a flubber-like consistency than the homemade gak we made final summer time from glue and borax. It wasn’t rather as stretchy as the gak, but it was super squishy. The children had tons of enjoyable squeezing it, squishing it and watching it ooze.
It’s not supposed to stick to the youngsters hands, but my tiny rascals had been sort of rough with it. They squeezed it, stretched it and fairly substantially beat it to a pulp, so yes, in the finish, they’re hands have been a bit messy (it was simple to clean, so don’t be concerned too substantially about that). I was a bit a lot more civilized with it and I just squeezed and stretched it and it didn’t stick to my hands at all.
Most effective of all, it only takes five minutes to make! So if you have Metamucil in your cupboard, you HAVE to try this. It barely uses any Metamucil, so you don’t even really feel like your wasting it! So exciting!
How to Make Two Ingredient Metamucil Slime
The complete printable recipe is at the bottom of this post, but here’s what you will have to have:
- Metamucil (with Psyllium Fiber)
- Water
That is it!
I got the notion from Paging Entertaining Mums. I saw it when I was on Pinterest this morning and I mentioned to myself, “I Want TO Try THAT!!!”
You may well be thinking to yourself, “What!, That’s never going to perform!” But I bet you’ve in no way microwaved your Metamucil just before. That’s when the magic takes place!
Make certain the microwave safe bowl you use is major. This stuff really bubbles up as it cooks and you genuinely don’t want it to spill over.
Add the Metamucil to the water. Or add the water to the Metamucil. I tried it each approaches and it didn’t seem to matter.
Then whisk it together for about 1 minute till it is well combined.
Cook it in the microwave on higher for five minutes. Make confident you verify it as it cooks to make confident it does not bubble more than. If it is truly bubbling higher, you can pause the microwave, wait a couple seconds for it to fall down, and press commence again.
It is HOT when it comes out, so be cautious! I pulled it out of the microwave and it just looked like a common liquid. I was type of disappointed and believed it didn’t operate. Till I put the spoon in and attempted stirring it.
And suitable away as I stirred it you could inform it was slime. So crazy! This is where I started smiling since it was just also cool!
Make positive you give it a handful of minutes to cool off. I flattened mine on the counter for awhile (it doesn’t stick), and stretched it out and blew on it to cool it off.
It didn’t ooze as much as the homemade gak we created, but it had a genuinely neat flubber like texture to it.
It definitely does not stick to the hands extremely substantially, unless your youngsters Genuinely try.
You can see in the photo under that my six year old was genuinely going crazy with the stuff and it started to break down on her pinky finger. It was easy to wash off though.
It oozed.
It flattened out.
And it rolled.
And it was Actually squishy!
I attempted the recipe two strategies. The initial time I made it with 1 cup of water and 1 Tablespoon of Metamucil and it had a stretchier, softer, slime consistency. But it did stick to the hands ever so slightly much more.
Then I attempted it with 3/four cup water and 1 Tablespoon Metamucil and it had a tougher, extra flubber-like consistency. If you can make additional than 1 batch, experiment with the quantities to see how it modifications!

This Metamucil slime is the coolest science experiment ever! I’m nevertheless in awe that this is what takes place when you put Metamucil in the microwave. I had no concept, but it is so darn exciting! It’s a super quick activity that only takes 5 minutes to make and just TWO components! It is such a wonderful activity to hold the children entertained on a rainy day!
If you’re seeking for a lot more entertaining children activities, verify out the homemade gak we made last summer. It had the classic slime consistency and was so considerably entertaining!
And verify out the edible marshmallow play dough we made final week! Now THIS stuff was much much better to taste test than the Metamucil slime!
