SLIME WITH LIQUID STARCH
Liquid starch slime is one of our favorite sensory recipes! We make it ALL the time because it is so quick and easy to whip up. 3 simple ingredients {one is water} are all you need. Add color, glitter, sequins, and more!
Where Do I buy Liquid Starch?
We pick up our liquid starch in the grocery store! Check the laundry detergent aisle and look for the bottles marked starch. You can also find liquid starch on Amazon, Walmart, Target, and even craft stores.
"But what if I don't have liquid starch available to me?"
I often get asked, "Can I make my own liquid starch? The answer is no, you cannot because the slime activator (sodium borate) in the starch is crucial to the chemistry behind the slime! Additionally, you can not use spray starch!
This is a pretty common question from those who live outside of the United States, and we do have some alternatives to share with you. Click on the slime recipes below to see if any of these will work!

Oh, and slime is science too, so don't miss the great information on the science behind this easy slime below. Watch our awesome slime videos and see how easy it is to make the best liquid starch slime!
SLIME SCIENCE
We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here! Slime is an excellent chemistry demonstration and kids love it too! Mixtures, substances, polymers, cross-linking, states of matter, elasticity, and viscosity are just a few of the science concepts that can be explored with homemade slime!
What's slime science all about? The borate ions in the slime activators (sodium borate, borax powder, or boric acid) mix with the PVA (polyvinyl acetate) glue and forms this cool stretchy substance. This is called cross-linking!
The glue is a polymer and is made up of long, repeating, and identical strands or molecules. These molecules with flow past one another keeping the glue in a liquid state. Until…
You add the borate ions to the mixture, and it then starts to connect these long strands together. They begin to tangle and mix until the substance is less like the liquid you started with and thicker and rubbery like slime! Slime is a polymer.
Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms, the tangled molecule strands are much like the clump of spaghetti!
Is slime a liquid or solid?
We call it a Non-Newtonian fluid because it's a little bit of both! Experiment with making the slime more or less viscous with varying amounts of foam beads. Can you change the density?
Did you know that slime aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)?
It does and you can use slime making to explore states of matter and its interactions. Find out more below…

LIQUID STARCH SLIME RECIPE
Make sure to wash hands thoroughly after playing with slime. If your slime gets a little messy, it does happen, check out my tips for how to get slime out of clothes and hair!
YOU WILL NEED:
- 1/2 Cup of Washable PVA Clear Glue or White Glue
- 1/4-1/2 Cup of Liquid Starch
- 1/2 Cup of Water
- Food coloring, confetti, glitter, and other fun mix-ins
HOW TO MAKE SLIME WITH LIQUID STARCH
STEP 1: In a bowl add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup glue and mix well to combine completely.
STEP 2: Now's the time to add color, glitter, or confetti!
Remember when you add color to white glue, the color will be lighter. Use clear glue for jewel-toned colors!
You can never add too much glitter! Mix the glitter and color into the glue and water mixture.
STEP 3: Pour in 1/4 cup of liquid starch and stir well.
You will see the slime immediately start to form and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Keep stirring until you have a gooey blob of slime. The liquid should be gone!
STEP 4: Start kneading your slime! It will appear stringy at first but just work it around with your hands and you will notice the consistency change.
SLIME MAKING TIP:The trick with liquid starch slime is to put a few drops of the liquid starch onto your hands before picking up the slime. However, keep in mind that although adding more liquid starch reduces the stickiness, and it will eventually create a stiffer slime.
