Now this project is a little messy to do. Although the slime is easy to wipe out don’t forget to use old newspapers or plastic covers to protect surfaces you don’t want to risk getting stained.

Here’s what you need to make this project:

  • Liquid Starch
  • Elmer’s Glue
  • Iron Oxide Powder
  • Disposable Bowls and Craft Sticks
  • Neodymium (Rare Earth) Magnet

How to make your own magnetic slime

Doing this project with kids? Make sure the curious little ones don’t eat the slime! Also, iron oxide powder is not good to breathe in. So make sure to read the complete tutorial we’ve linked for you below our album and follow the instructions properly for a fun and successful DIY magnetic slime project with them!

1. Create the mixture

First, add 1/4 cup of white PVA glue to your bowl. In order to get all the glue out of the measuring cup, you may have to scrape it with a spoon.

Iron oxide powder should be added in two tablespoons. It is expected that the mixture will appear solid black.

Finally, add 1/8 cup liquid starch.

2. Stir the mixture

Make sure the glue and starch mixture is thoroughly mixed. The slime will form as soon as the starch reacts with the glue.

To tell if you had too much starch, this will be shown upon mixing, there will be unmixed starch after stirring. To fix this, just simply rinse the slime under cold water.

3. Work on the slime with your hands

Make your slime by kneading it. After kneading the slime and before playing with it, I wash my hands. As a result, the slime is less sticky.

Knead a small amount of starch into your slime if it’s too sticky. On the other hand, if it’s too stringy, knead in more glue.

If your slime won’t respond to your magnet, it’s probably the strength of the magnet. You can try ordering some cylinder neodymium magnets that are stronger!
