Fall Slime Recipe

by Angela Thayer 10 Comments

My kids love to play with slime! It keeps them busy for such a long time and it is a great calming play activity. You can make this fall slime in under five minutes with just a few supplies!

Fall Slime - easy activity with just a couple ingredients!

This post contains affiliate links. See my disclosure for details.

Here’s what you need for fall slime:

  • 1/2 cup clear Elmer’s glue
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup Sta-Flo liquid starch 
  • sequins or glitter
  • bowl
  • spoon

Start by mixing the glue with the water in a bowl. Add in the glitter and stir. Then slowly pour the liquid starch in while stirring. It will begin to form into slime once you add in the liquid starch.

It may be slippery/wet at first, but the more you knead and play with it, the less slippery it will get.

I love the fall colors in this glitter. I found this at Michael’s Craft Store, and they had other Halloween colors. So pretty! And the glitter stays in the slime and doesn’t fall out.

Slime is so fun to play with. Just holding it in your hands makes it slowly come down.

Let’s just say that we had fun playing with it!

Fall Slime Activity

This activity is great for children 2 and older. Please don’t allow children who put items in their mouths to play with slime.

When you’re done playing with the slime, store it in a container with a lid. This will last a couple days.

Happy Playing!

    I absolutely love this idea! Just one thing though… for international readers/ subscribers: Elmo glue is a brand of craft glue that is NON-TOXIC. If you can’t find Elmer brand then replace with another brand that is NON-TOXIC. Petrol based glues will work but will smell terrible and not be safe for young hands.

    This idea is fabulous! I did a semi-related post (Free Printable Thanksgiving Riddle Treasure Hunt: 18 Mix-and-Match Clues) and wanted ideas for a “prize” at the end of the treasure hunt. This was one of the four I featured. I, of course, just used the picture and linked them to your site for the instructions!
    The pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

    The slime looks so pretty! I would like to use this recipe for a class of fifteen. Did you use one whole bottle of glitter in this recipe?
