  • To make colored slime add food coloring. I found it easiest to mix it with the starch.  You can divide the batch and use several different colors. But know, if the colors contact each other, they will blend together. Forever. Mix enough colors and you get brownish beige with gray highlights. The color of toe lint. I don’t recommend it.

  • Store it in zip top baggies or air tight containers to keep it from drying out. I kept ours in the fridge and it lasted more than a week.
