How to Make Maple Syrup Slime
Step 1: Gather and measure
Gather your supplies. Measure out 1 cup of cornstarch and ½ cup of maple syrup. Having everything pre-measured helps ensure the correct texture and prevents overmixing. Add both ingredients to a medium-sized bowl.
Step 2: Stir it together
Using a spoon, stir the cornstarch and maple syrup together. At first, the mixture may look crumbly or overly sticky. Keep stirring until it begins to form a thicker consistency. As the ingredients combine, you’ll notice the texture starting to shift from powdery to dough-like.
If the mixture feels too sticky to handle, add cornstarch one tablespoon at a time. Stir after each addition until the slime becomes easier to manage. The goal is a soft, moldable texture that can hold together without sticking heavily to your hands. Once the mixture forms a soft dough, gently knead it with your hands. The warmth of your hands helps the texture become smoother and more pliable.
Continue kneading until it feels soft and stretchy.
All done!
Your slime is ready to stretch and squish!

Storage Tips
Store your slime in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days. Because this recipe uses kitchen ingredients, it will naturally become stickier over time. Before each use, simply knead in a small amount of cornstarch to refresh the texture.
