Caramel Apple Slime

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we are constantly making slime or cloud dough. This fall, we have been inside A LOT due to the weather, so we’ve been creative in our sensory play time.

We’ve learned to never buy slime – half the fun of it is actually making it! Below is our easy slime recipe and I hope you love it as much as we do.

If you love the idea of this but can’t get started right away, save this to a DIY slime recipes pin board or share it to Facebook / Instagram. Either way will make it easy to find when you’re you’re ready to begin.

Tips to Make This Fall Slime recipe

• If you do not have any fragrance oil on hand, you can use apple food flavoring or even just a few drops of apple juice. It will have a light scent, but the kids will love it if they’re involved in making up the recipe.
• For those new to slime, it’s a good idea to consider some basic prep such as:
  • tie back long hair
  • protect the surface of the table (we are working with glue and coloring)
  • have a zip top plastic bag handy or an air-tight container for storage
  • glitter is ALWAYS optional

How to Make Caramel Apple Fall Slime

Below is the slime recipe with measurements. As always, you can leave off the glitter or change up the scents to suit what you have on hand or what your children will love.
