How to Make Chocolate Mud Slime
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
Place all ingredients and tools on your work surface so everything is ready to go.
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients
Add the cornstarch and cocoa powder to a medium-sized bowl. Stir them together with a spoon until evenly combined.
Step 3: Add the first water
Pour ¼ cup of water into the bowl and mix with the spoon. The mixture will start to thicken but will still look dry.
Step 4: Add the rest and knead
Pour in the remaining ¼ cup of water and switch to using your hands. Knead the mixture until it comes together into a soft, muddy texture.
Step 5: Adjust the texture
If the slime feels too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time, kneading between each addition, until you reach the right consistency.
Step 6: Add gummy worms
Press gummy worms into the slime if you’re using them for extra sensory fun or pretend play.
All done!
Set the chocolate mud slime out for sensory exploration, scooping, squishing, and imaginative play.
