Here are a few tried and true recipes my grandson loves to get his hands dirty with :)
Homemade Slime
2 parts cornstarch 1 part water Food coloring
Mix in a large bowl, using your hands. Don’t add too much water. Slime should not be runny but can be made to whatever consistency you like best. Pick the color you like your slime to be and use the food coloring. If your slime gets too hard, a small amount of water can be added.
Playdough
2 cups water 1/2 cup salt 2 cups flour 2 tbsp oil food coloring
Boil water and salt. When at a boil, add in flour, oil and food coloring. Take off heat when mixed, and when its cooled to a barely touchable temperature, knead until smooth. Store in a margarine container.
Homemade Bubbles
1 cup water 2 tbsp light karo syrup 4 tbsp dishwashing liquid
Mix together.
Colored Bubbles Solution
1 cup granulated soap or soap powder 1 quart warm water Liquid food coloring
