Slime Time!

Slime is still going strong in my setting. Both my own children and those I childminder really enjoy making and playing with slime.

We recently started to add shaving foam into the mixture to make fluffy slime and switched from food colouring to paint in order to colour it.

This fluffy slime is the best slime I have made. It's great for the kids to play with and develop their motor skills but it is also very therapeutic for adults. I enjoy it as much as the children!

So without further ado, here is the recipe I use:

You will need a bowl, a small jar/pot/cup, spoons, pva glue, paint, shaving foam, laundry starch (available from Amazon) and water.

Before you begin mix approximately two teaspoons of laundry starch with two yo three tablespoons of water. It should have the consistency of full-fat milk.

1. Pour about 100g of pva glue into a large bowl.

2. Add paint - as much as you like!

3. Mix.

4. Add shaving foam - a few large squires.

5. Mix.

6. Add approximately six teaspoons of the laundry starch mixture.

7. Mix together - it should start to come away from the sides of the bowl.

8. Use your hands! Kneed the mixture for a couple of minutes and it should become slime. If you need to add more laundry starch mixture do it now, but aware of adding too much as it will make the slime brittle and it won't stretch as well.

9. Keep kneeding and playing with it. The more you play with the slime the more fluid and slimy it becomes.

10. If you want to add glitter, beads, gems, googly eyes etc. add them now.

You have made slime!
