Today was our first “Messy, Make Something Monday” and we decided to make edible slime. Now, just to be clear, this is safe to put in your mouth. However, that doesn’t mean that you should let your kid chow down on the stuff, unless you want a shit-uation on your hands. For real, it will get on your hands.
What you’ll need:
-Water- 1 Cup
-Any fiber supplement with Psyllium- 1 Tablespoon
–Koolaid mix or food coloring-This is really optional, but it makes the slime smell tasty and look cool. We put 1/2 of a small packet of Kool-aid into each bowl.
-Microwave safe bowl-I’d use glass if you have one on hand.
-Measuring cup, tablespoon and spoons for mixing
Directions:
1. Mix one tablespoon of fiber into 1 cup of warm water in your microwave-safe bowl.
2. Add the Kool-aid/food coloring of your choice and stir.
3. Microwave for 3 minutes until bubbling
4. Set aside until completely cool. It will solidify the cooler it gets.
5. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: This stuff is messy, so you’ll probably want to take it outside where you can hose your kids down afterwards. Also, this is what my kids hands looked like after thirty minutes of play. Worth it.
