Do you love making slime? Then you will love this Popcorn Slime! You only need a few supplies and it’s so easy to make. This is also a good tactile activity for your kids, research shows that sensory play including tactile activity like this, builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks.

Great for a kids birthday party activity!

Materials

• 1/2 cup white Elmer’s Glue
• 5 drops yellow food coloring
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2-1 cup Styrofoam pieces
• 1-1.5 Tablespoons of contact solution (use enough until it is not sticky. However, make sure not to overdo it, using too much will make it hard)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, pour Elmer's glue, 5 drops of yellow food coloring and baking soda, mix together.
2. Start squirting in the contact solution, little by little until you get the consistency that you want.
3. Keep mixing (at this point you can start mixing this with your hands).
4. Add about a 1/2-1 cup of broken styrofoam pieces. I used the harder ones that you have to break apart. Mine came in my Instant Pot box. Incorporate the syrofoam pieces and your slime.
5. Top a popcorn box with the popcorn slime. I doubled my recipe to fit better in the boxes. We got ours at the dollar tree in the party section.
