There’s still lots of great things to do outside in the Fall, but when the play is taken indoors what better way to do it than with slime? Slime! It’s the trend sweeping the nation. Kids are obsessed with it, adults love it! It’s an all-around neat thing to both make and play with. Slime is also a great way for children to explore and learn (science, chemistry, math) via sensory play due to its malleable nature. The different types of slime you can make are nearly endless! So, are you looking for an inspiring Fall activity to bring inside? Why not try one of these simple slime ideas with your little. ## **But First, The Basics** If you’re new to slime, then you may want a simple slime recipe or list of ingredients to get you started. To make your basic slime recipe, you’re going to need. -  ½ cup of activator (such as liquid starch or contact lens solution) - ½ cup clear or white Elmers Washable School Glue (other brands of glue don’t seem to work as well) - ½ cup water First you will want to combine the water and glue, and stir until fully combined; then add the liquid activator! Keep stirring your mixture until you get the consistency you’re looking for in your slime. Looking for a quick and easy solution to making your own slime?

Then mix in your cornstarch and powdered sugar until you have a consistency you're happy with! Be careful when first handling the candies, they could be a little warm. ## Storing Your Slime Slime can last for a long time, if it’s stored correctly. Jazz up the way you store your slime with some Halloween and Fall inspired jars! ![Pumpkin-Slime-for-Halloween](https://info.scholarschoice.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Pumpkin-Slime-for-Halloween.jpg?width=400&name=Pumpkin-Slime-for-Halloween.jpg)via, [The Best Ideas For Kids](https://www.thebestideasforkids.com/halloween-slime/) As you can see, adding a few paper details, googly eyes, or fake leaves to a glass jar is a great way to store your slime.
