After a rather wet Halloween here this year I had a big bag of candy corn leftover. Given that no-one in the house would (or should!) eat them, I decided to use them for a sensory experience.
We started with a simple sensory bin as recommended by Deborah from Teach Preschool for some pouring and scooping fun!

- 2½ fl oz white glue (or about half a regular bottle)
- 2½ fl oz liquid starch
- 2-3 drops food coloring

I made three batches – one yellow, one orange and I left one white. The white had a slightly blue tinge due to the liquid starch, but it didn’t matter too much.

Then I added the candy corn to the slime as well – just to add to the textural fun!

Instructions
- Mix the glue, starch and food dye in a bowl. Keep stirring until the mixture holds together. If it is too sticky, add more liquid starch.
