Dish Soap Slime

Like most other kids and adults around the country, my kids love making slime.  We have made several different versions of slime and glitter slime but I think that my favorite is dish soap slime.

I like the texture and how simple it is to make. It doesn’t make a huge mess unless you spill the cornstarch everywhere.  I also love the smell! A lot of slime recipes out there contain Borax and Contact Solution. A lot of parents don’t feel comfortable giving their kids something to play with that contains these ingredients. Also, they have been known to cause skin irritations.  This recipe is simply made from dish soap and corn starch!

For St. Patricks day, we love to make crafts like our shamrock wreath to hang around the house.  We also love fun St. Patrick’s Day crafts that we can make a family.  This fun green soap slime and our St. Patrick’s Day Glitter Playdough are our favorites!

St. Patrick’s Day Dish Soap Slime

Materials:

  • Green colored dish soap
  • Corn starch

Learning How to make dish soap slime is easy. You just need dish soap and corn starch.

Instructions:

  1. Add 3 tablespoons of green colored dish soap to a bowl.  If you would like it to be more green you could add a couple of drops of food coloring here as well. I decided not to add the extra food coloring.
  2. Mix in 4 tablespoons of cornstarch.
  3. Stir the mixture well until it reaches a doughy consistency that is hard to stir. If it is still sticky to the touch, add another tablespoon of cornstarch a little at a time, and begin to work it in with your hands.dish soap slime being held in a hand.
  4. When the dish soap slime is done, it will be a cross between silly putty and traditional oozing slime. As you play with it, it will feel like silly putty, but if you let it sit still on a table or in your hands, it will start to turn into more of a slime consistency.Slime decorated with St. Patrick's Day medallions.
  5. This slime is super fun to play with, but will not store well. If you wish to try and store it, you can put it in an airtight container. When you open it again for play later, add more dish soap if it is too dry, or more cornstarch if it is too runny.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
