This recipe gets its base recipe from Stacey’s Edible Jell-O Slime recipe – she uses commercial (sugar-free) Jell-O in her recipe so if you’d rather do that than head out and buy flavorless gelatine, give her recipe a try! (Check out the bottom of this post for three more edible slime recipes your kids will love!) If your slime is too dough-like and tough, knead in more water to get a more slime-like consistency. The slime does dry out due to the cornstarch, but if you knead in some water, it will stop flaking and come back into a cohesive slime. This slime turned out super stretchy, with a hybrid play dough-slime consistency that was less messy and stringy than traditional slimes. I would avoid using plain Jell-O as I think the sugar would make this recipe super sticky! We buy edible gelatine in bulk to make homemade bird feeders, but you could also use Knox brand plain gelatin, vegan gelatin or even a sugar-free cherry Jell-O packet. I remembered my friend Stacey (my partner in crime on this site) had perfected a Jello Slime so I thought we could use some flavorless gelatin to make an Edible Cherry Limeade Slime!

(Even if your kids are past the age of tasting things, I know a lot of kids struggle to not touch their face – including their eyes and mouth – while playing, and edible slimes make that less of an issue.)

My daughter asked if I thought we could make a cherry limeade slime with our cherry limeade drink crystals, and while we could have made a normal glue-based slime and just added the drink crystals, I thought “why not try to make it edible?!”Įdible Slimes are so awesome for including younger kids in sensory play, plus they tend to be a bit gentler on sensitive skin than borax- or glue-based slimes. We recently bought a few flavored drink crystals to make homemade lip gloss – and we had plenty left over! So, naturally, we started experimenting with them. One of my favorite things to do with my daughter on rainy days is play around with different ingredients – whether we’re trying to make fun new recipes, or engaging in a bit of kitchen science! What’s Inside: A fun slime recipe inspired by our popular Copycat Cherry Limeade recipe, this Edible Cherry Limeade Slime is super easy to make and completely edible! Perfect for mixed age groups or just a fun kitchen science experiment!
