Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups
  • Spoon
  • Airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2-4 cups corn starch
  • food coloring optional

Instructions
 

  • Add the chia seeds and water to an airtight container or bowl that can be covered. Mix the chia seeds and water well and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the mixture to form a thick gel.
  • Add the cornstarch gradually to the chia slime, 1/2 cup at a time, until the slime thickens and becomes easy to handle. Continue to add corn starch until you reach your desired consistency.
  • If you plan to make multiple colors, separate your slime into separate containers and mix in your preferred food colorings.
  • Use a tray or playmat to play with the edible chia seed slime and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days for taste-safe play. Add more water if the slime hardens.
