List of things you will need~
iron fillings (easily bought online)
glue
liquid starch
strong magnet
Step 1~ Pour one bottle of glue into a bowl or cup and mix in iron fillings.I used about half a small bottle.
Step 2~ SLOWLY add liquid starch, it is best to start with a small amount and only add more if needed. Otherwise it will come out like rubber. It should still work but I personally like it more following. Mix till slime forms, it is best to mix with hands.
That is it. I also suggest buying new magnets as old ones might not be that strong after sitting.
I found ones like these at my local craft store, we did try kid ones but they were not strong enough.
Adult supervision required, as always :)
Nothing about this craft is edible but it is all really neat!
Note~ This can be turned into a science lesson! Expand this activity and talk all about magnets.
Video will be up shortly for this activity.
