Best Edible Slime Recipes – 5 Minute Recipes From Basic Kitchen Ingredients!

Edible slime recipes you can make right now from ingredients you already have!

Edible Slime RecipesAre you looking for a simple activity to keep the kids busy? Try making slime!

Slime is a wonderful sensory toy for younger kids and a fun STEM activity for older ones. It’s a great fun activity to do with them, and then let them have a ball stretching and squeezing the slime afterwards.

None of these recipes include complicated ingredients that you’ll need to go shopping for. You can make these recipes with simple kitchen basics that you’ve already got in your pantry.

Most of these recipes include:

  • something gooey or sticky (like candy, honey, nutella or marshmallows.)
  • something to thicken it (like powdered sugar, or cornstarch.)
  • something to minimize the stickiness (like oil.)

Why Edible Slime?

Unlike glue-based slimes, edible slime is a safer option for babies and toddlers who might take a bite or lick their hands while playing with slime. These slimes are made with food ingredients.

Note, there is one recipe here for honey slime which isn’t safe for babies under 1 year. 

Easy Edible Slime Recipes

If you want a slime that doesn’t matter if it gets eaten, these recipes are for you. Most contain less than 5 ingredients and require minimal preparation.

Older kids can probably make some of these recipes by themselves, however, parental supervision is recommended for those recipes requiring microwaving.
