Hope everyone is staying safe and having fun. At nursery slime is a big hit with all the children. Usually we make our slime with PVA glue but I have a couple of recipes for easy edible slime which myself and my teenage daughter have tried and tested whilst stuck at home. The recipes are as follows:

JELLY SLIME

Ingredients: Cornflour, shop bought jelly sachets and water

Method

– Combine the powders in a bowl with a fork, stir in the water. It might seem a little solid but after a lot of kneading (with your hands) it becomes good stretchy consistency for playing with.

– There are a range of different fruity jelly flavours to choose from, so can be pink (raspberry) red (strawberry) or green (lime)

MARSHMALLOW FUNFETTI SLIME

Ingredients

Cornflour, icing sugar, mini marshmallows, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and sprinkles to decorate!

Method

– Melt the marshmallows in a large heatproof bowl in the microwave for 30-50 secs, until melted, stirring after 30 seconds.

– Stir in the oil and vanilla, mix well and then stir in the cornflour and mix again.

– Add icing sugar and stir in and now knead until flexible. If it feels a little sticky, add in the rest of the cornflour.

– Use extra cornflour for the surface if you need to, having a little veg oil to hand is good to keep your hands sticky free. Knead and play. Add some cake sprinkles for a funfetti effect!

Hope you have lots of fun trying out these different slimes and remember its ok if children put in their mouths as there all edible. Enjoy and if you do try them out we’d love to see some pics. Keep safe, keep smiling, stay happy.
