Playful Edible Sludge

A fun sticky sludge that's perfect for sensory play, and also safe for the littler ones who're still taste-testing their way through life.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages of gelatin dissolved in 2 cups of hot water
  • 3/4 cup of chia seeds
  • 1 1/2 cups cold water
  • 3 cups of corn starch
  • 1 cup of flour
  • edible food coloring

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, stir together the corn starch and flour until they're evenly incorporated.
  • In a separate large bowl, or even the bowl of stand mixer, add the gelatin water, chia seeds, and cold water.
  • Slowly add in the corn starch/flour mixture, steadily stirring until the ingredients have come together and a dough like consistency has been reached. You may or may not need to add a bit of extra cold water depending on your desired consistency.
  • Refrigerate the dough overnight so that it 'sets'. It will soften as you play from the heat of your hands.
