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.
- 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
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.
