The kids and I are diving headfirst into the Fall fun around here! We had a blast in the kitchen last weekend making this Pumpkin Pie inspired slime recipe, and these adorable DIY Jack-O-Lantern slime containers to store it in. The recipe that we concocted is borax-free, and safe for little hands to touch, plus it smells DELICIOUS! It's the perfect DIY craft to make with younger children at Fall / Halloween themed parties, or for using as fun candy-free party favors / to hand out to trick-or-treater's on Halloween.
Though we used larger jars from Maddie Rae's collection, we also found these adorable mini-containers at Dollar Tree ( they came in packs of 10 for just $1!).

What you'll need:
- A bowl for mixing
- A measuring cup
- Measuring spoons
- A large craft stick / popsicle stick (for mixing/combining ingredients) or a spoon.
- 2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 2-3 tsp. saline

How to:
For the slime:
- In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of Maddie Rae's Clear Slime Glue. Next add food coloring. Stir until well combined.
- Next, add pumpkin pie spice. Stir untill combined well.
- Now add saline solution. Stir quickly and continuously untill slime starts to form and seperate from the sides of the mixing bowl. If it's still a bit sticky, add a drop or two of saline solution at a time until you achieve desired consistency.
For the DIY Jack-O-Lantern Slime Storage Containers:
- Draw fun Jack-O-Lantern faces on the front of each of your slime storage containers / jars with a fine-point black permanant marker. Allow adequate time for marker to dry (about 10 minutes).
- Add your pumpkin pie slime to each storage container. Place the lid on and store in a cool dry place (slime typically lasts for 10-14 days).
Play, have fun, and enjoy! Happy slime making, friends!
