Tips & storage: 
  • Store your slime in an airtight container between play, and it can be used again and again!
  • Liquid starch can be hard to find in stores.  We get ours online here.
  • The neon paint that we use in our activities can be found online here.
  • For the best effect I recommend using a blacklight for this activity.  You can use these flashlights or a blacklight fixture. My kids love using the flashlights!
