Glowing Jack-o-Lantern Slime Recipe
- 1 cup of white school glue
- 4-8 oz of liquid starch
- 1 tsp of orange neon paint
You will also need:
- A bowl for mixing
- Craft foam

Method
- Begin by mixing 1 cup of school glue with 1 teaspoon of paint in a large bowl. Stir until combined.

- Then, slowly begin to add liquid starch, slowly adding more starch and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the slime is formed remove it from the bowl and knead it with clean, dry hands.

- After a bit of kneading you will have vibrantly glowing jack-o-lantern slime!

- We added play tools and craft foam, and the fun began! Rosie and Jewel had a blast making oOzing jack-o-lanterns and giggled uncontrollably as they played.

Tips & storage:

- The neon paint that we use in our activities can be found online here.
- For the best effect I recommend using a blacklight for this activity.
- You can use these flashlights or a blacklight fixture. My kids love using the flashlights!
