Mix all the ingredients together with your hands until the mixture no longer sticks to your fingers.
They only require a few basic ingredients and the children can usually join in the process of making the slime as well.Tablespoon of natural fibre supplement – I used the Metamucil brand simply purchased from my local supermarket. By watching carefully as it cooks and taking your bowl out to check you can actually make 2 different slimes – 1 a little more sticky and sort of runny and the other a firmer rubbery gel which is perfect for stretching (and better for those children who dislike messy, sticky hands) I ended up making 2 batches of each version. Sprinkle the powder across top of water and whisk or stir for around 2 minutes (the kids love doing this part so hand out those whisks! Add dolls and dolly clothes along with a tub of water and use the soap slime to shampoo dolly's hair and wash clothes.
For a firmer, blubbery type slime – Microwave for suggested time and add a little more powder to the recipe if you need to after you try your first batch. I get asked this a lot – along with many of the other sensory activities I share and my answer is always the same NO! Whilst other methods of removing the residue from your body, such as using a shower head, can be used, it is advised that you take caution when manoeuvring inside the bath as it will be very slippery!
The slimy, gooey texture is fantastic for fingerpainting and mark making – especially if used on a table or tray surface. If you have children who don't like messy hands just clip a peg to the sponges so they aren't touching the slime yet. Add a little bowl of cornflour (cornstarch) to the table for children to sprinkle onto the slime if it is becoming to sticky for play. By just adding more water, the slime can be diluted into colourful water that can be easily drained away. Slime Baff has quickly proven itself to be one of our best-selling products and is also available in a range of exciting colours and effects.
To turn the mixture into slime, just take the play dough with you in the bath tub or add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.
Some of the slime recipes contain all of these elements, some only 1 or 2…but they are all lots of fun for exploring with the senses, investigating and experimenting through play. A word of caution…my children are very used to sensory activities like this as we have been doing them regularly since they were babies but if you have a child who is sensitive to material on their hands just keep a bucket of water and cloth close by so they can wash their hands at regular intervals. You also don't need to worry about using those ingredients like glue, starch and borax which I do not recommend using around younger children – especially under 12 months when they are still tasting everything! Cup WaterFood colouring or edicol colour dyes {Optional} I used edicol dye because I use them to colour my DIY cornflour paint base as well and they wash out of clothes so easily! Because it is a soap base it washes off easily when time to clean up and will keep in a covered container for quite a while if you keep it relatively free of other matter!
Speaking from my own experiences using this over the years I have never had a child complain about it hurting their eyes but I know some may find it stings like any soap in the eye can.Collect flowers together and use the slime pushed into recycled lids as a base to create florist arrangements. Make sure to have a bucket of water and a few cloths close by for those that need to rinse off their hands regularly. For younger children and babies you can help do this step with them of course and I usually make it a little firmer rather than too slippery so they can grasp and manipulate easier. Not because it’s edible, but because its better to pour down your drain than regular plastic glitter. I created this slime recipe after using the sago as a safe sensory alternative to water beads with younger children (Water beads are quite the choking hazard!
