Check out the list of materials that we use with this activity.
Pumpkin Slime
To make this gorgeous slime, you will need only four ingredients:
- 1 x 6oz bottle Elmer’s Clear Glue
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup warm water, as needed
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup Liquid Starch, as needed
- Pumpkin Glitter
To make this slime, first pour the clear glue into a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to stir in 1/4 cup warm water.
Add 1/4 cup Liquid Starch and stir well for 2 minutes.
Test the slime and add more water if too stiff, more Liquid Starch if too sticky.
Continue stirring until the slime forms into a ball, then knead for 2 minutes, adding more water or liquid starch, as needed.
Once the slime is stretchy and no longer sticky, knead in the glitter.
Note: Our glitter dyed the slime orange, but if yours doesn’t you can add a few drops orange food dye to achieve an orange color.
Slime is best stored in an airtight container in the fridge when not in use.
