Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Melt the gummy bears
- First, sort the gummy bears by colour into different bowls.We recommend doing this, unless you want a random brown-ish colour of slime from the mixed gummy bears. (Probably not, haha...)
- Add 3/4 cup of gummy bears to a measuring cup or glass bowl.(You'll probably need more than 1 package to get this amount in one colour. Read more details below the tutorial.)
- Microwave the gummy bears for 15 seconds and then stir. Microwave another 15 seconds and stir again. The gummy bears will be liquid and VERY HOT, so be careful.
Step 3: Add the other ingredients
- Once the gummy bear liquid has cooled a bit (wait about 5 minutes), add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and stir.
- Repeat with 1/4 cup cornstarch.
- Then add 1 teaspoon coconut oil and stir. This will help the gummy bear slime stretch.Now wait 5 to 10 minutes, letting the mixture cool more and giving the cornstarch time to absorb into the gummy bear mixture.
Step 4: Mix the gummy bear slime
- Pour the gummy bear slime mixture onto a baking sheet or other clean surface.
- Use your hands to mix the gummy bear slime. You may need to add a bit more cornstarch and icing sugar to keep the slime from sticking to your hands.
- Once the slime isn't so sticky you can pick it up and fully mix it with your hands. If the slime is still sticky, coat your hands with cornstarch before playing with it.
- Your gummy bear slime is complete!
