Gummy Bear Slime
An edible slime that’s a bit too tempting, this slime recipe calls for gummy bears, cornstarch, some powdered sugar, and a touch of coconut oil.
When a corn allergy was problematic, we have subbed the organic Black Forest gummy bears, corn-free powdered sugar, and arrowroot powder to avoid corn and cornstarch… works really well!
Peeps Slime
Confession: I don’t like Peeps. At all. I used to cringe when well-meaning relatives gifted them to us around Easter, but not anymore! Now I say a big hearty “thank you!” and make this super fun slime recipe with the kids!
Psyllium Husk Slime
Made with psyllium husk, cornstarch, and water (food coloring optional), this recipe for glue-free slime can be made in the microwave or the stove top and is completely non-toxic!
Gelatin Slime
Making slime without glue is easy when you have some gelatin and a little corn syrup. These easy ingredients also make this slime technically edible if you have kids you might put it in their mouths.
It’s also a play with and toss slime as it wouldn’t store for a second round of play, so be sure to schedule a time when you can really play with it for a while before tossing!
Psyllium Husk Slime (no cornstarch)
This DIY slime also calls for psyllium husk, but doesn’t use cornstarch. A huge bonus for us, since all of our family members are allergic to corn!
It’s also a super easy slime recipe since it really only needs one ingredient and some water to make!
Chia Seed Slime
Though this glue free slime also uses corn starch, it contains chia seeds and xanthan gum as the main ingredients!
I love how stretchy this slime looks! Hours of slime fun for the whole family! 🙂
