What could be better than playing with Christmas slime to celebrate the festive season?!?

I based this Christmas themed slime on the same recipe as our candy corn slime:
- 2.5 fl oz white glue (or about half a regular bottle)
- 2.5 fl oz liquid starch
- 2-3 drops food coloring
I made three batches, colouring one red, one green, and leaving one white. To the red slime I added some cinnamon powder, to the green slime I added some peppermint essence, and to the white slime I added some loose gold glitter.
We actually didn’t get to play with this the same day that I made it, so the different slimes had slightly melted together. I confess that I wasn’t very precise with my measurements so all three were a slightly different consistency. Luckily, that just adds to the interest.
F spent a long time just pulling it up on a utensil and watching it gloop back down into the dish.
He wasn’t so keen on the cookie cutter being in there so he removed it – rather dramatically!
The slime is just fascinating to pull and play with.
The white plastic spatula that I put out for him to use worked really well, as he could pick up larger amounts of slime.
For once F even put his fingers into it! He wasn’t keen, but at least he tried.
I don’t think I put enough cinnamon powder into this Christmas slime because all we could smell was the mint – but that added a very nice fresh scent to the slime!
Important Note: If you recreate this slime please do not dispose of it down the sink as your plumbing won’t like it!

Love it! This looks so fun! I know my three year old would have so much fun!
SO fun, Aarya even now won’t put his hand in to it 🙂
How do you make slime even better? Make it Christmas slime! I love the colors and the peppermint must have smelled yummy!
I know Emma – it’s an obvious one, isn’t it? What we’ve been missing from our Christmas celebrations for all these years!
We did something similar the other day. We only used cornstarch and water but we added green food coloring and glitter. It kept the kids busy for at least an hour! I love the idea of adding scents as well. I never thought of that. 🙂
Looks like gooey fun! Another fun idea is to use vanilla pudding and food coloring. For those whose kids eat everything. Oh, is that just mine? Thanks for sharing on the Learn Through Play hop!
Oooooh, I just love this! What a colorful and super fun Christmas sensory activity!!! 🙂
