1. How To Make Chia Slime – Perfect for Taste Safe Sensory Play
This is one of the easiest things to make! Video here for the how to! https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cevun1Sjdmi/?igsh=MWlkbGRzNXhlajkwMw==
- Add 1/4 cup chia seeds to 2 cups of water
- Optional to add some food coloring to the water, I think it makes for more fun !
- Mix well, cover, and place in fridge overnight
In the morning it’s all slimey and ready to be played with! I typically repeat the recipe X4 for the below slime play ideas.
2. Chia Dino Eggs
Use your leftover slime!
Video here on how I made them!
Materials to make your frozen dinosaur eggs:
- chia slime
- plastic easter eggs
- tape
- egg carton
The egg carton works to stabilize the eggs so the liquid doesn’t pour out before they freeze.

Rainbow taste-safe jellow blocks!
