Supplies Needed to Make Snow Cone Slime Recipe
Directions to Make Crackly Colorful Slime Recipe
Step 1
First, mix the glue and starch in a small bowl very gently. You don’t want to cause too many bubbles as you want the mixture to be clear.
Step 2
Next, if you plan to color your slime, you’ll want to separate your slime into 3 different bowls. We used red, blue and yellow food coloring for ours.
Step 3
Now, add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well. You should now have 3 separately dyed slime colors.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add the plastic pellets. Add 1/4 at a time to each bowl and mix well with your hands.
Finished Snow Cone Slime
The slime will eventually turn crackly and it will be harder to add more pellets. That’s when you know it is ready for play!
You can mix the colors together or add them in a snow cone container and watch the colors naturally mix together!
This slime is loads of fun!
