Materials for 1 bag of slime:
- 1 bottle of white glue (8oz)
- water (8oz)
- liquid starch (about 4oz)
- 2 large ziploc bag
- washable tempera paint
Getting started:
We typically make this in March and call it ooblek, but you can make it anytime! It's easiest to have students make the slime in groups. We had 6 kids in each group, so we had 4 bags of slime.
- I gave each group two ziploc bags.
- I had them pour in one bottle of white glue and equal parts water.
- They chose the paint color they wanted and added a few drops.
- Each student took turns mixing the bag up. Tip: Make sure to get all of the air out of the bag before closing and mixing it up.
- We slowly added in about 4 oz of liquid starch.
- Students kept mixing the bag from the outside until the desired consistency was reached.
Slime Tip: Double up the bags in case any slime spills out.
Once we were done playing with it, everyone grabbed a chunk to take home in a small ziplock bag. /
