Some children may have skin that is sensitive to the typical slime activator- borax or you may not not want the messiness of glue. Here are three alternatives to making slime without one or both these ingredients.
Shampoo
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp Suave Kids 3-in-1 Shampoo (thicker shampoos work best and choose a fragrance that you will like)
- 2 Tbsp Shaving cream
- 1 tsp Salt
Steps:
- Pour two TBSP. of shampoo into a bowl to start with (you can add more shampoo later)
- Add the same amount of shaving cream (foam) to the shampoo and mix
- Add a teaspoon of salt to the mixture and mix
- Put mixture in the freezer for approximately 15 minutes and you have slime! If it becomes too runny you can refreeze the slime.
With Body Wash and Cornstarch
Ingredients:
- Bodywash
- water
- food coloring (optional)
- Cornstarch
Steps:
- Pour body wash into a mixing bowl
- Mix in cornstarch and mix well. You will need the same amount of cornstarch as body wash.
- Add food coloring to add some color
- When ingredients are mixed well together, pick it up and start to need. You can add water to make it more stretchy.
- Knead away!
With Toothpaste
Ingredients:
- Toothpaste
- Lotion
- Baby Oil
- food coloring (optional)
Steps:
- Squeeze a good amount of toothpaste in a bowl and mix
