Materials

• Large mixing bowl
• Plastic mixing spoon or spatula
• Measuring cup
• Airtight storage container

Ingredients

• Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread—the base of the slime, giving it its unique color and scent)
• White school glue (binder that provides the necessary stickiness)
• Liquid starch (slime activator; reacts with the glue to form the stretchy, gooey consistency)
• Water (thins the mixture and helps achieve the ideal slime consistency)

Directions

1. Clear and clean your workspace. Find a spacious table or countertop and clear it of any unnecessary items. Ensure the area is clean to avoid any unwanted particles in your slime.
2. Gather all your ingredients and tools. Have your Nutella, white school glue, liquid starch, water, mixing bowl, mixing spoon, measuring cup, and airtight container at the ready.
3. Set up an area for slime play and drying. Designate a large tray, silicone mat, or clean table covered with craft paper. Set aside a flat, non-stick surface for the slime to dry after playtime.
4. Mix the Nutella and glue. In your mixing bowl, combine equal parts Nutella and white school glue (about ½ cup of each for a small batch). Stir with your mixing spoon until you get a smooth, evenly mixed paste.
5. Add the water. Gradually add water to the mixture—start with ¼ cup and stir well. Add more a little at a time until it reaches a pudding-like consistency.
6. Add the liquid starch. Slowly pour in the same amount of liquid starch as you used for the Nutella and glue. As you stir, the mixture will start to form into a blob—that’s the slime forming.
7. Knead the slime. Once the slime has formed, knead it for about 5 minutes until it’s nice and stretchy. If it’s too sticky, add a little more liquid starch and knead it in.
