Slime sometimes called "Gak" or "Oobleck" is a glob of goo that feels cool and creepy to touch. In other words, it's gross enough for kids to totally like it. You should buy it at the store, of course, but you can save some money and make slime at home. While borax is often used to make slime, an alternative it to make it using cornstarch for a fantastically nasty- and totally non-toxic- slime that works superbly for your child39;s party, a Halloween party, a study room activity or to amuse the children on a wet day.
Cornstarch Slime :
1 and 1/2 cups (350ml) of water
3 to 4 drops of food colourising
2 cups cornstarch
1 tsp cream of tarter
Add 1-1/2 cups (350ml) of water to a little pan. Heat till the water is warm though not hot or boiling. You don39;t want to use boiling water because then you have got to wait for it to cool down before it is easy to use your hands to mix the slime.
Pour 1 cup (250 ml) of the halfhearted water into a bowl. Add 3 to four drops of green food coloring till the water is about a shade darker than you want the slime to be. When you make the slime, the color will be watered down a little. Mix the water well with a spoon.
Measure 2 cups (140g/500ml) of cornstarch. Cornstarch is known as cornflour in the Uk and some place else. Place it into a new large-sized bowl.
Empty the coloured water into the bowl with the cornstarch. Tip the coloured water in slowly. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients together. Comprehensively mix the blend into the consistency of a thick paste.
Control the consistency of the slime. You can add more cornstarch if the slime is too thin. Add more hot water from the amount remaining in the pan if the blend is too thick. This is a case of preference.
Carry on doing this as much as needed to acquire a mix that39;s of the right slimy consistency for your requirements. You'll be able to put your fingers into the mix simply. When you run your finger along the slime's surface, it should feel dry.
Add items to the slime to make it further fun (optional). You can use rubber worms, plastic insects or eyeballs, for example. This is a wonderful idea for a Halloween party, a science party or for a party or camp based totally on nature or environmental themes.
Place your slime into a bag. Seal the bag well to reserve it.
