HOW TO MAKE GLOWING JACK-O-LANTERN SLIME FOR KIDS

Materials

• 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
• A blacklight (optional)

Method

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

• Slowly begin to add liquid starch and mix, 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 mixing and kneading you will be left with vibrantly glowing jack-o-lantern slime!

Add 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: 

• Store your slime in an airtight container between play, and it can be used again and again!
• Liquid starch can be hard to find in stores.  We get ours online here.
• 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!
