What is slime? Have you ever heard about putty? Well, slime is like putty, but more softer and gooier. Lots and lots of kids at Lake Bluff love to play with slime. You can even make slime yourself at home!
What kind of slimes are there? There is glitter slime, bead slime, bubble slime, goopy slime, and my favorite is… RAINBOW slime!!💖
How do you make slime at home? It’s very easy to make slime at home as long as you have all the ingredients: Glue, Borax, Hot water, food coloring, and a bowl.
All you have to do is put the glue in a bowl. Then, add in any food coloring. Mix it until the glue becomes the color you want it to be. Then, in another bowl mix hot water and Borax together. Now add your watery mixture to the colored glue. Pour it slowly. Keep mixing until it gets harder, and harder until it’s too hard to mix at all. When the mixture doesn’t stick to your hand then you’re all done! Your slime is ready for some more additional details. Now, you can start adding glitter or beads or studs. Then you made your very first slime at HOME!!!😀
Can you buy slime at stores? Yes. You can buy slime at stores like Winkie’s, Michael’s, Costco, and Walmart.
Where can you bring slime to? Well, you can bring slime to School, Playdates, Recess and Home OBVIOUSLY?! 😆!
What can you do with slime? Play with friends! Have fun sharing the joy of slime!
Did you know NY times had an article about Slime with the title - “FEEL THE NOISE:HOMEMADE SLIME BECOMES BIG BUSINESS.”
How old do you have to be to play or make slime? Mostly you have to be at least 5+ to use slime. But if you are very careful, you can play with your younger siblings of age 3+
Is there any other ways to make slime? Well, most of the ingredients are the same. But if you want, instead of using Borax, you can use eye drops /contact lens solution or detergent.
While slime is more interesting and fun to play with, I have to warn you about the mishap happened to a Massachusetts girl incurring third degree burns while using Sodium Borate to make slime. So when you look for ingredients to make slime, please make sure you are using chemicals with your parents' guidance. With proper ingredients, right quantities and with a little caution on chemical ingredients will get you all you want: PERFECT SLIME for loads of fun and joy!
Hope you had the same fun and joy reading this article as well!
