Do  you have leftover candy corn from Halloween? Make this sensory slime for kids to enjoy!

Candy Corn Sensory Slime - decorated with leftover candy corn!

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!

Then we tried something more adventurous – slime! I have only tried making slime once before and found it way less messy that expected. I used the same recipe but changed the clear glue for white glue. This makes a small batch of slime (I made three different batches):

  • 2½ fl oz white glue (or about half a regular bottle)
  • 2½ fl oz liquid starch
  • 2-3 drops food coloring
All you need to do is mix the ingredients together! Here’s how it evolves:

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!

Both F and I found the slime really intriguing. I bravely demonstrated sticking my fingers into the slime to swirl it around but F couldn’t be persuaded. So I gave him a spoon and he had loads of fun lifting up the slime and watching it pour off, forming an almost solid consistency back in the dish. Lots of oopy gloopy fun!

I should probably mention that F was not tempted to eat the candy corn at any point – he really doesn’t like candy. Obviously once the candy has been in the slime it shouldn’t be eaten. I wonder if he’ll have developed a sweet tooth by next Halloween?!? 🙂Want to know more about candy corn? Check out Why Do They Call It Candy Corn? from my friends over at Happy Hooligans!
