Magnetic Slime! This activity was a winner at our house! 

A couple safety items:
⚠️This slime is NOT taste safe.
⚠️ Only use ONE neodymium magnet at a time. The magnet is so strong, it could easily pinch little fingers. Keep away from any other magnets.



In a bowl add:
1/2 cup Elmer’s Glue
1/2 cup water
Stir to combine.


To the bowl add:
1/2 cup iron oxide powder
Stir to combine.


To the bowl add:
Add 1/2 cup liquid starch (found in laundry isle at the grocery store).
Stir to combine. It will start to thicken immediately. Keep stirring until it no longer sticks to the side of the bowl and a ball forms. If there’s extra liquid in your bowl, transfer the slime to a new bowl. Rest 5-10 minutes to allow the slime to come together. 


While one child played with the magnet, the other would use play dough stampers/scissors or plastic toys to play with his slime. My baby played with some taste safe play dough. If any slime gets on clothing, use vinegar to wash it out. Click link in bio (by sunday) for all the supply links!
