Some children may have skin that is sensitive to the typical slime activator- borax or you may 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:
1. Pour 2 TBSP of shampoo of choice into a bowl (you can always add more shampoo later).
2. Add in 2 TBSP of shaving cream (foam) to the shampoo and mix.
3. Add 1 tsp of salt and mix everything together thoroughly.
4. Put mixture into the freezer for approximately 15 minutes.
5. Remove from freezer and play! If your slime becomes runny, just pop it back into the freezer for a few minutes to keep the fun going.
With Body Wash and Cornstarch
Ingredients:
- 2 TBSP body wash (thicker works better)
- 2 TBSP cornstarch
- Food coloring (optional)
- Splash of water
Steps:
1. Pour 2 TBSP of body wash into a bowl.
2. Add in cornstarch and mix well.
3. If desired, add in food coloring at this point.
4. Mix ingredients together thoroughly. You may have to add a little more body wash to obtain the right consistency. Knead and enjoy your slime!
With Toothpaste
Ingredients:
- 2 TBSP Toothpaste
- 2 – 4 TBSP Lotion
- 1 TSP Baby oil
- Food coloring (optional)
Steps:
1. Squeeze approximately 2 TBSP of toothpaste and mix.
2. Heat up toothpaste in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time (make sure to give it a mix between each check) until you reach a sticky slime-like consistency.
3. Add in 2-4 TBSP of lotion and baby oil to create a more malleable and stretchy slime.
4. Knead and play with your slime!
