Ingredients
- Shampoo: A modest amount as the main liquid ingredient
- Cornstarch: Gradually added to create a thicker paste
- Food coloring (optional): Added for tinting the slime
- Water (optional): Added sparingly if the mixture feels too thick
- Mixing bowl: For combining ingredients
- Spoon (optional): For initial mixing of ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the shampoo and cornstarch in a mixing bowl, starting with a small batch and adding the cornstarch gradually.
- Mix until a thick paste forms, incorporating all cornstarch without leaving dry pockets.
- If desired, add a small amount of food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.
- Add a small amount of water if the mixture feels too thick, mixing and checking the texture after each addition.
- Knead the mixture by hand until smooth and even, adjusting with more cornstarch if it sticks or more water if it feels overly stiff.
Notes
The mixture is not a durable finished craft and should be used immediately under supervision. Clean all surfaces and hands after use to avoid staining or mess.
