Crafts for Kids

Slime, Amazing Ooze, Bubble Pipe Mixture, Bubbles, Finger Paint, Gak


Slime


Ingredients:
4 tsp. corn starch
2 tsp. water


Instructions:
In the bottom half of a disposable foam cup, put corn starch then mix in the water. Add food
coloring if desired. If slime dries out, add more water. This is a good simple recipe for kids like
me!


Amazing Ooze


Ingredients :
1 cup Cornstarch
1-2 drops Food Coloring (optional)
1/2 cup Water
Newspapers
Measuring Cup
Large Bowl


Instructions :
Cover your work area with newspapers. Put cornstarch in large bowl. Add 1-2 drops of food
coloring if using. Add water slowly, mixing the cornstarch until all of the powder is wet. Keep
adding water until this mixture looks like a liquid when you stir it slowly. The ooze is just right
when it won't splash out of the bowl. Tap lightly on the surface with your finger or spoon. If it is
too wet add more cornstarch; too dry, add more water. Try to pick up the resulting "liquid". It
feels like a solid until you open your hand and then it will slip through your fingers.

 


Bubble Pipe Mixture


Ingredients:
1 c. liquid dish soap
1/2 c. water


Instructions:
Put dish soap and water, in a plastic container with a lid. Stir mixture, (do not shake) shaking it
will cause it to become foamy. If this happens, let it set for a little while, and it will be fine. If it
is foamy it does not work as well.

 


Bubbles                                                                    


Ingredients :
1 c. lemon dishwashing liquid
1 tsp. glycerin
1 c. white corn syrup
5 c. water


Instructions:
Mix all ingredients well. Can be used right away, but better if allowed to set overnight

 

 

Finger Paint

                                                               Ingredients:                                                              
1/2 c. cornstarch                                                              
1 c. cold water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2 c. hot water
1/2 c. soap flakes or detergent


Instructions:
Dissolve cornstarch in 3/4 cup cold water, soak gelatin in remaining 1/4 c. cold water. Add hot
water to cornstarch mix. Cook on medium heat, until it starts to boil and is clear, stirring
constantly. Remove from heat. Blend in softened gelatin. Add soap and stir until dissolved. Cool,
and divide into 5 jars. Color each one with desired color with food coloring. Kids love to finger
paint. If it is a nice day outside, let them paint outside. Clean up is easy, just spray off paint with
the garden hose.
