Ingredients
- Glue
- Cornstarch
- Lotion
- Food coloring (optional)
- Activator (such as baking soda and contact lens solution)
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Measuring spoons
- Clean work surface
Instructions
- Combine the glue and cornstarch in a bowl. Stir until the mixture looks smooth and the cornstarch is evenly incorporated.
- Add the lotion and stir well. Continue mixing until the ingredients form a consistent, creamy mixture.
- For colored slime, add a small amount of food coloring. Stir until the color is evenly distributed. Add more gradually if you want a stronger shade.
- Gradually stir in your chosen activator, adding it in small amounts and mixing between additions. Stop when the slime begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and reaches the consistency you prefer.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean surface and knead it with your hands until the slime feels smooth and stretchy. If it remains too sticky, add a very small amount of activator and knead again.
Notes
Always supervise children during preparation and play. Store the slime in an airtight container to prevent drying out and keep it away from direct sunlight and sensitive surfaces.
