We recently did a science fair project involving making slime using different recipes. A long time ago, I tried the liquid starch and glue method and had horrid results. I don't know if I didn't kneed the slime mixture long enough or if I had a bad batch of liquid starch, but I just remember it being a total epic fail.

So my go to recipe during the recent slime craze did NOT involve liquid starch at all. So I wanted to give it another try for the science fair project. I think I decided to give it a fair shot this time around and our slime made with liquid starch came out beautifully! Not to mention it's much simpler than the other popular slime recipe.

The texture and consistency of the slime made with the liquid starch was great! Fun to play with and stayed very stretchy and smooth!

The recipe we used was equal parts school glue and liquid starch. Pour glue into a bowl and add any additives you want (food coloring, glow in the dark powder or paint, iron oxide powder for magnetic slime - the possibilities are endless!). Then add equal part liquid starch and mix them until slime starts to form. Pull the slime out of the bowl and knead it for 5-10 minutes and voila! You've got hours of entertainment for both kids and adults!

I had never heard of liquid starch or at least I've never used liquid starch until this whole slime craze started. My daughter uses this to make her batches of slime which she is currently obsessed with. Sta-flo seems to be the brand that she is familiar with so I was able to get it in amazon rather than hunt it down in stores. I'm very grateful to amazon which has made my life so much easier. This is a large sized bottle and it makes consistent quality slime. My daughter really love it.

Arrived on time, in perfect shape, and ready to make slime for my daughters birthday party. By the way Sta-flo works the best as an activator. I'm a school teacher, and we tried many slime experiments using various activators such as: borax, contact lenses solution, etc...we got the best results using sta-flo. Just in case you teachers want to do a class experiment. It is also less messy. Elmers glue, water, shaving cream, and sta-flo....any coloring you want to use.

Spray starch from cans gets all over the floor and I almost slip and break my neck! And there's never really enough starch in even the largest can, and it's not QUITE as heavy as I like for my summer whites.So, if you want something done right, do it yourself, they say, and I have. With a regular pump spray bottle , it doesn't spray onto the floor, and I don't inadvertently plot my own demise. ( lol).

Perfect activation for slime for kids to touch. Won't make slime with a long shelf life but then again little ones won't let slime have a long shelf life anyways. I have no idea what else corn starch is used for but I'm sure I don't do it.
