Purple Peeps Slime Recipe

This makes a pliable, sweet slime kids will love. It’s a perfect way to use up those Peeps. Since Easter means that there are always Peeps left over, why not find something else to do besides eating them all?

And when you see them nibbling at the slime on their hands, you won’t have to tell them to stop. (Or you can if you want; it’s totally up to you!)

Just be mindful that this is slime like any other slime, and it might get stuck to your carpet and furniture. Have your children play with it at a table or in their normal craft area to ensure it’s not spread all over the house.

We have lots of other easy slime recipes, too. When it comes to slime, you can never have too many options!

Benefits of Making Slime

Making your own slime at home is such a fun and hands-on way to sneak a little learning into your day—and kids absolutely love it! For homeschool parents, it’s a great activity that checks so many boxes: it’s sensory play, it encourages creativity, and it can even be turned into a mini science lesson.

You can talk about mixing solids and liquids, color blending, or even how chemical reactions work (in a super kid-friendly way, of course). Plus, it’s a budget-friendly craft that keeps little hands busy and minds engaged. Bonus: it’s a great break from bookwork and a chance to make a mess in a way that’s actually encouraged!

You’re not going to believe how simple this recipe is!

Place the Peeps in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, allowing peeps to fluff up.

My kids love watching this part. They get so big!

Add in oil and cornstarch. We don’t want to make a sticky mess when we touch the Peeps.

Mix until you have a smooth consistency and a thick slime.

Keep slime from sticking to your hands by adding a bit more cornstarch.

I would add this little by little so you don’t overdo it. You can always keep adding in more if you really do need it.

Slime is a huge hit in our house the kids like to add toys and just love playing with its texture.

The texture of this slime is like full slime! They’ll love being able to stretch it, pull it, and feel how cool it is! Who knew that Peeps would be this cool?

If your house is a slime house, have the kids compare the texture of this slime to the texture of other slime recipes. Find out which ones they like best and then talk about them. This is a great way to open up those lines of communication as well, in a way that works best!

There are so many fun ways that they can play with this slime. You may find them asking for more Peeps for Easter next year to make slime and not eat them!

Tips for Making Slime with Peeps

It’s no secret that making slime is so much fun! While this slime recipe isn’t hard to do, there are a few tips to remember.

First and foremost, make sure that the kids wash their hands. Sounds like a simple tip, right? You’d be surprised! Since they can play with this slime and then nibble on it if they want, you’ll want to make sure that they have clean hands while doing so!

Also, be sure to be with them while they’re making slime. It’s not hard to make, but some parental support and supervision are needed along the way.

Remember to change up the color of the slime! Using various colors of peeps means that the slime will be different colors! This is a simple way to change the look and keep it fun and engaging!

Ways to Play with Slime

There are so many ways that your child can play with slime. They can simply hold it and try to make it into a round ball or stretch it out as far as possible.

Ask your kids what happened to the Peeps to change their texture and how they went from an edible treat to a fun slime you can play with. Conversations are a great way to engage and keep activities going, too.

What else can you turn into slime? See what ideas your kids come up with! It’s an excellent way to explore different food products in your home.

Grab a piece of paper and have them write down some fun ideas on what they want to try to do with their slime. This will teach them to plan ahead and work on some writing skills.

Then, when they’re ready to try something else with their slime, they’ll have their notepad handy and ready to remember what they wanted to do.
