That’s also the way to thicken slime that’s gotten too liquidy. However, if you’re experimenting, the way to un-sickify your slime is to add more activator, in this case, saline solution. If you follow the slime recipe, you won’t have this problem. It may feel weird at first, but keep working it and it will get better.įor slime that doesn’t get rubbery as fast try the Borax recipes below.
The slime will get back to its stretchy state in no time. It’s easy to fix, just dunk it in hot water and work the water in. But making slime using saline or contact lens solution instead of borax will make the slime rubbery with time. I just showed you how to make slime without borax. Once we had played with our slime smoothie it turned out a gorgeous purple and made one giant slime ball! To make a slime smoothie, just combine several colored slimes and mix. Store it in a baggie or closed container so it lasts longer. But we really didn’t want to vacuum glitter out of the carpet for days, so we skipped that. You could replace the food coloring with 1tsp of glitter. Simple and super fun! From 1st to 6th grade, none of the kids had trouble.Īnd no slime activator recipe to make ahead of time! This was the easiest and most foolproof slime recipe I’ve ever tried. All the kids had to do is follow the recipe. We used little cups with all the ingredients pre-measured. When the steps were followed, this basic slime worked every time. I added the Borax recipes at the end of this post too so you can experiment with all kinds of different slimes. This slime recipe doesn’t use laundry detergent or Borax as an activator (not to be confused with boric acid, which, although safe, may cause eye irritations.) A slime activated with Borax will last longer but this recipe’s a bit simpler. (And when you’re done you can check out my list of more things to do with kids at home) I was very skeptical about being able to find an easy slime recipe that would work without fail for each kid.īut this one did the trick.
And I can say that with confidence because it worked flawlessly for all 150 kids who came through our science-themed Vacation Bible School classroom.
