Slime often called "Gak" or "Oobleck" is a glob of goo that feels cool and creepy to touch. Put simply, it's gross enough for kids to completely like it. You should buy it at the store, of course, but you can save some cash and make slime at home. While borax is generally used to make slime, an alternative it to make it using cornstarch for a fantastically nasty- and completely non-toxic- slime that works superbly for your child39;s party, a Halloween party, a study room activity or just to entertain the youngsters 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 frying pan. Heat until the water is warm but not hot or boiling. You don39;t need to use boiling water because then you have got to wait for it to cool down before it is possible to use your hands to mix the slime.
Pour 1 cup (250 ml) of the lukewarm water into a bowl. Add three to four drops of green food color till the water is about a shade darker than you would like the slime to be. When you make the slime, the colour will be watered down a bit. Mix the water well with a spoon.
Measure 2 cups (140g/500ml) of cornstarch. Cornstarch is known as cornflour in Great Britain 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 blend the mix into the consistency of a thick paste.
Control the consistency of the slime. You are able to add more cornstarch if the slime is too thin. Add more warm water from the amount remaining in the pan if the blend is too thick. This is a case of personal taste.
Carry on doing this as much as needed to obtain a mix that39;s of the right slimy consistency for your wishes. You will be able to put your fingers into the blend simply. When you run your finger along the slime's surface, it should feel dry.
Add items to the slime to make it extra fun (optional). You can use rubber worms, plastic insects or eyeballs, and so on. This is a smart 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 plastic carrier bag. Seal the bag well to save it.
