Halloween just wouldn’t be complete without SLIME! I couldn’t miss out on this opportunity!
For the past two weeks, my tutee has been begging me to make slime! I think her curiosity started because of Nickelodeon and all the slime they use! So anyway, I figured I’ll just have her make goo since it was something I was already familiar with. However, after browsing the internet for more fun activities, I came across a recipe for edible slime… and this was something I just couldn’t resist not doing!
.
What you will need
- 14oz. or around 400mL Condensed Milk
- 1-3 table spoons of starch
- Cooking pan or Saucepan
- Food coloring
- Flavor (optional)
.
Step 1: Pour the condensed milk in a saucepan. The amount doesn’t really matter.
I let the kids taste the condensed milk. After pouring it all into the saucepan, they still kept asking for more! So I let them lick the measuring cup!
They were already having fun without the slime!
.
Step 2: Cook over low or medium heat while mixing in the cornstarch until the mixture thickens.
The recipe I followed originally said 1 table spoon but I kept adding cornstarch because the mixture wasn’t thickening. You can do the same.
.
Step 3: Since I had two kids, I poured the mixture into separate bowls for each of them to try
Step 4: Add the flavoring(vanilla extract) and the food coloring
I love her reaction when the mixture started turning green! She had the look of joy and amazement!
.
Step 5: While playing with it, I felt as if it were missing something. So I took some mini (REALLY mini) bread chips/toasts we had at home and gave it to them and told them those were eyeballs!
Their imagination took over with the whole eyeball thing! It was so much fun!
.
Step 6: Play and eat!
.
Seal and refrigerate to keep the freshness! Have fun!!
