Warning
The slime is very hot straight out of the microwave, so adults need to take it out carefully.

- Allow the slime to cool well (about 10 – 15 minutes, less if you pop it in the fridge) before children play with it. A little warmth is nice though.

Tips For Making Your Natural Slime

- Microwave on high but it will likely spill over the edge of the bowl but just scoop it back in once it’s cool enough to touch.
- Kids can make this recipe and do the whisking but adults should definitely take it out of the microwave when it is steaming hot.
- It is a bit messy so it is best to play with this outdoors.
