The first time I made it with 1 cup of water and 1 Tablespoon of Metamucil and it had a stretchier, softer, slime consistency. But it did stick to the hands ever so slightly more. You can see in the photo below that my 6 year old was really going crazy with the stuff and it started to break down on her pinky finger. It really doesn’t stick to the hands very much, unless your kids REALLY try. It didn’t ooze as much as the homemade gak we made, but it had a really neat flubber like texture to it. I flattened mine on the counter for awhile (it doesn’t stick), and stretched it out and blew on it to cool it off. Make sure you give it a few minutes to cool off. So crazy! This is where I started smiling because it was just too cool! Until I put the spoon in and tried stirring it.Īnd right away as I stirred it you could tell it was slime. I was kind of disappointed and thought it didn’t work. It’s HOT when it comes out, so be careful! I pulled it out of the microwave and it just looked like a regular liquid. If it’s really bubbling high, you can pause the microwave, wait a couple seconds for it to fall down, and press start again. Make sure you check it as it cooks to make sure it doesn’t bubble over. Then whisk it together for about 1 minute until it’s well combined.Ĭook it in the microwave on high for 5 minutes. I tried it both ways and it didn’t seem to matter. This stuff really bubbles up as it cooks and you really don’t want it to spill over.Īdd the Metamucil to the water. Make sure the microwave safe bowl you use is big. You might be thinking to yourself, “What!? That’s never going to work!” But I bet you’ve never microwaved your Metamucil before. I saw it when I was on Pinterest this morning and I said to myself, “I NEED TO TRY THAT!!!” The full printable recipe is at the bottom of this post, but here’s what you’ll need: It barely uses any Metamucil, so you don’t even feel like your wasting it! So fun! How to Make Two Ingredient Metamucil Slime They squeezed it, stretched it and pretty much beat it to a pulp, so yes, in the end, they’re hands were a bit messy (it was easy to clean, so don’t worry too much about that). I was a bit more civilized with it and I just squeezed and stretched it and it didn’t stick to my hands at all.īest of all, it only takes 5 minutes to make! So if you have Metamucil in your cupboard, you HAVE to try this. It’s not supposed to stick to the kids hands, but my little rascals were kind of rough with it. The kids had tons of fun squeezing it, squishing it and watching it ooze. It wasn’t quite as stretchy as the gak, but it was super squishy. This Metamucil slime has more of a flubber-like consistency than the homemade gak we made last summer from glue and borax. But fast forward 4 years (or 6 years?) later and I’m glad I kept it in the cupboard! The tub was so big that there was no way we were going to make it through it, no matter how much the postpartum adjustment was wreaking havoc on my digestive system! haha Sorry. Right after I had my second daughter, (or maybe it was my first? Man… how crazy is it that I’ve already forgotten!?) we went to Costco and stocked up on the super sized tubs of Metamucil. I still had a big tub of Metamucil in our cupboards from when our kids were born. I’m not sure if they make Metamucil without it? But make sure you check the label first to make sure it’s in there or this experiment won’t work. I love it! The key ingredient here is the psyllium fiber. It wasn’t nearly as tempting as the marshmallow play dough we made last week!).Īnything that has only two ingredients, and I’m game. It’s a crazy little science experiment that you can actually play with! And it’s perfectly safe to taste test too! (Although, none of us actually tried eating it. OK guys, before today, I had no idea you could make Metamucil slime, but it is so fun! Seriously, I had no idea this was possible! I was smiling when it came together because the Engineer in me was thinking, “This is SO COOL!” haha That’s the dork in me.
