What kid doesn’t like digging in the dirt a little bit? I don’t blame them, I adore it too. This Garden Dirt Slime Recipe is great when they have to be indoors and need something fun and creative to keep them busy. It is perfect for rainy days or when mom needs an activity to keep the kids occupied.

Adding insects, fruits, or vegetables to a the dirt slime makes it even more fun.

Garden Dirt Slime Recipe

Items Needed:

  • 1 1/2 cups white school glue
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup potting soil
  • 1- 2 tablespoons saline solution
  • 1/4 cup watergarden dirt slime ingredients

Directions:

  1. Combine the glue, water, baking soda and soil in a bowl or use the pot that you will be setting out for play to keep the mess to a minimum. It is up to you how much soil you add but I have given you a starting point. The more you add the thicker the texture will be but I really wanted to capture the color and feel of dirt so I added a lot, probably close to a 1/2 cup or more. Mix it all together very well.mixing garden dirt slime
  2. Add saline solution about a teaspoon at a time and mix well between every addition, you will know you have added enough when the slime is just barely sticky and is pulling away from the sides of the container to cling to the spoon.adding saline solution to garden slime
  3. Remove slime from the container and knead with your hands to finish it up.
  4. Add give your child a pot, some plastic garden tools, little insects, and some plastic vegetables for imaginative playtime. looking at garden dirt slime through magnifying glassWe have used these Safari Ltd. Fruits and Vegetable Toobs for so many things that they are well worth the investment- learning the 4 food groups, sensory bins, sorting fruits from vegetables, and playing store to name a few. The bugs are just some random we have from a play pack. garden dirt slime recipe spilling out of tub

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
