Explore the wonders

of DIY edible slime!

Have you ever pondered the possibility of crafting slime that is not only entertaining to engage with but also completely edible?

Your curiosity ends here! Courtesy of Science Week,

this engaging DIY project guides you through the process of creating your very own edible slime using ingredients found within the confines of your kitchen.

By combining tapioca flour, sugar, and a dash of citric acid, you're able to concoct a pliable,

sticky substance that's bound to captivate the imagination of your children (or even rekindle the joy of your own youthful spirit).

Furthermore, this activity serves as a perfect practical demonstration of gelification—the fascinating scientific principle that explains the thickening and gelling effects of starches.

Pro Tip: To achieve the ultimate level of stretchiness, prioritize the use of tapioca flour instead of alternatives like corn-flour or potato starch!
