Dino Slime!!

Today the children experienced "Dino Slime" a special recipe we made out of cornflour, shampoo and a little food colouring.  It was super fun and messy too!  We loved exploring the texture with our fingers and talking about what it feels like - sticky, slimy, cold, gooey!  Adding our dinosaurs the "stomped, stomped, stomped" there way through the slime.  We also added rocks and leaves to our play.

To make your own dino slime you’ll need:
  • A large mixing bowl or container
  • 2 cups corn flour (corn starch)
  • 1 cup of cheap shampoo
  • A few drops of green food colouring if you like
  • Dinosaurs, foliage, rocks, pine cones or any other accessories you like
Mix the corn flour, shampoo and food coloring together in the mixing bowl until it comes together to form a paste like consistency. It should be firm enough to pick up lumps with your hands, but soft enough to slide through your fingers when held up. Add a little more corn flour or shampoo till you get the slimy consistency you are looking for.
