How to Make Applesauce Slime
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
Set out all ingredients and tools before you begin. This slime moves fast once mixing starts, so having everything ready helps keep things smooth and frustration-free.
Step 2: Add cornstarch and applesauce
Add the cornstarch and applesauce to a small bowl. This is where things start looking a little questionable, but trust the process.
Step 3: Stir and add the oil
Stir the cornstarch and applesauce until mostly combined. Add the coconut oil and continue mixing. At this stage, switching to hands can help bring the slime together into a workable texture.
Step 4: Fix sticky slime
If the slime feels sticky or wet, add cornstarch one teaspoon at a time, mixing well after each addition until the texture improves.
Step 5: Fix crumbly slime
If the slime feels crumbly or stiff, add applesauce one teaspoon at a time until it becomes soft and stretchy.
All done!
Stretch it, squish it, pull it, and explore the texture. This is where the sensory magic really happens.
