This mess free colour mixing pumpkin activity is perfect for kids and for parents. Why? Well it's great for kids because it's fun to play with and it helps teach about making colours and mark making and it's great for parents because it's mess free! This mess free pumpkin is similar to the mess free autumn tree we made last year so if you like mess free activities for kids it's worth checking that one out too!

For this colour mixing pumpkin activity you will need:

Ziplock plastic bag Yellow paint
Optional - packaging tape

Lets make it:

This is actually an old post but I've given it a bit of an update and as it's been so popular in the past I thought I'd re-share it.

Want to see how I made this? Check out the video below which also shares how to easily change this into a cute Halloween activity. Prefer written instructions? You'll find them below the video. If you like this activity make sure that you bookmark this page or pin an image so you don't forget about it. Want more autumn crafts and activities for kids? You'll find them at the end of this post.

To make your squishy paint pumpkin first draw a pumpkin shape onto your ziplock bag. I find that the cheaper felt tips tend to be no good for this so although these ones cost a bit more I genuinely do use them for everything!

Open the bag and put some red and yellow paint in the middle of the pumpkin. Carefully close the bag and zip it up - if you are giving this to a young kid and want to be super careful then seal the opening with packaging tape too.

You can now mix the red and yellow paints together to make an orange pumpkin, For older kids as well as colour mixing you could use the squishy paint bag as a way of practising mark making or letters too, drawing the letters in the paint.

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays. We know the candy can be overwhelming for some kids to receive so today we're sharing a non-candy Halloween treat idea with this Halloween slime. You can make a large batch of one kind or make them all! Either way, kids will love receiving these adorable Halloween slime jars.
RELATED: Halloween Crafts for Kids
We made pumpkin jars a few years ago and they were a big hit. That's why we thought - why couldn't we make pumpkin slime jars? Such a fun idea to fill the color of the mason jar with the slime! And if you're not the best with felt, you could stick to just making the ghost slime jar. We love easy!

Halloween Slime - an Easy Slime Activity!

Now meet our 3 Halloween Slime Jars that we'll walk you through how to make.

First is our pumpkin slime jar - made with orange slime inside and black felt for the facial features!

Next is our Frankenstein slime jar - this guy is seriously the cutest! He may be our favorite mason jar craft yet! (And we're pretty partial to these Trolls mason jars if you haven't seen them).

And finally (the easiest one!) a simple ghost slime jar.

Here are the three slime colors we made stretched out for you to see them.

Now let's get into the details on how to make this Halloween slime!

Ingredients Needed to Make Halloween Slime

Repeat each of the below for each color (you'll need to make 1 batch each if you want to make each slime jar)
Per batch:

6 ounces of Elmer's glue- we used (2 bottles) and glitter green and repeated the recipe 3 times. Note: we made this with Elmer's glue. It is recommended you do not substitute with other glue as the make-up may not be the same and the recipe may not work (especially Dollar store glue many people report having problems using this).

Orange food coloring for the pumpkin slime jar *Note: the food coloring may stain, use wax paper to cover your table when playing with it and avoid contact with anything you do not want stained.

1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda

1½ tablespoons of Contact lens solution. **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime.

Water - add 2 TBSP of water to your glue before adding baking soda if you'd like a stretchier slime

Supplies for the Mason Jar Features
-Googly Eyes -Black Felt
-Glue Dots or Hot Glue (we suggest adults do the hot glue portion)
Watch the full tutorial video here before you get started!
Directions to make Halloween Slime

1. Get a bowl to mix your slime ingredients in.

2. Pour 6 oz of your Elmer's glue into the bowl. Use white glue for the ghost and pumpkin slime.

3. Use your green glitter glue for your Frankenstein slime. You could also substitute the green glitter glue for white glue with green food coloring. You can save on glue by getting the large gallon size if you plan on making a large batch.

4. Mix in orange food coloring to make orange glue for your pumpkin slime. *Note: the food coloring may stain, use wax paper to cover your table when playing with it and avoid contact with anything you do not want stained.

5. Add your 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and mix in thoroughly. Also add 2 TBSP of water here and mix.

6. Now add in your contact lens solution. We recommend adults do this part. Reminder: your contact lens solution should contain boric acid or your slime will not form. Start with half of what the recipe calls for and mix. If your slime is not forming enough, add in the rest. If you find it is still too sticky you can add a bit more.

7. Now mix until your slime forms and begins to harden. Knead for quite some time with your hands. You may be surprised how much you need to knead to really make the slime form. If it's not the desirable consistency keep kneading. If you find it to still be too sticky, add a bit more contact lens solution.

8. Now add your facial features to your mason jars! We used googly eyes for the ghost slime jar. We cut out a pumpkin face with black felt for the pumpkin jars. And we used black felt and googly eyes for the Frankenstein jars. Glue to your mason jars using hot glue (adults only) or glue dots for the googly eyes.

This recipe was adapted from our Unicorn Slime recipe.

Now you can play! Give these as gifts or simply have the kids play with their Halloween slime! These would also be perfect for a Halloween party. Then seal up the jars when you're done for safe keeping and storage.
