I often let my toddler make a huge mess because she loves it so much. Young kids would do better with our best fluffy slime recipe, but if you’re OK with the mess, go for it! I also wouldn’t make this slime with young kids. That’s why we like using soap dye because it keeps clothing from getting ruined.īut the best play to make cornstarch slime is either outside or in the kitchen so you can keep control of the mess.
So, the one drawback of cornstarch slime is that it is very messy. If you want to cut down on the stickiness factor, you can add glycerin to your hands sort of like you would when buttering your hands to make popcorn balls.
