How to Make Edible Slime

14 oz. bag Starburst Candy (2 bags may be needed depending on colors needed)
¾ cup Powdered Sugar
¾ cup Cornstarch

Separate the candy into piles by color. I used original colored Starbursts, so I had red, orange, yellow, and pink.

Unwrap 23-25 pieces of each color and put them into 4 individual bowls. Make sure the bowls can go in the microwave.

Mix the cornstarch and powdered sugar together in a bowl.

Starting with one of the colored starburst candy, microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Put back in for 30 more seconds and stir again. If it is not completely melted put it back in for a few extra seconds.

Stir in about 2-3 tablespoons of the cornstarch mixture until it is mostly mixed in. Put a little bit of the cornstarch mixture on the counter and dump the candy mixture on top of it. (At this point, you will have to leave it set on the counter for a few minutes to cool down before you can knead it).

Roll it and knead it a little and stretch it as the cornstarch mixture works into it. Only add just enough so the candy does not stick to your hands anymore. You want it to be soft a pliable so do not add too much cornstarch/sugar mixture.

Repeat the above steps with the other colors if you’d like a variety of flavors and scents.

Benefits of Slime and Therapy Putty

This Starburst Slime is soft and smooth and there is no sticky mess when it’s used.

Slime and Therapy Putty can be used to improve hand strengthening and fine motor skills.

Plus, using silly putty or a stress putty like this reduces stress and anxiety.

Slime Putty makes a great fidget toy and even though it’s not a toy it has the same results (only better).

Starburst Slime is an amazing sensory putty for kids and adults.

Edible Putty

Making homemade slime, silly putty, playdough, and other cool sensory activities has been a passion of ours for years. And these edible silly putty and slime recipes are so important especially when you have a sensory seeking child that loves putting everything into their mouth (like our son).

I hope this Starburst slime gives your children everything they need from a stretchy slime to a smooth and sweet sensory activity.

If the putty gets a little hard to stretch after being stored or played with for a long time just put it back into the microwave for 5-10 seconds and it will be soft and easy to play with again!
