Soap-based Slime Recipes
Using hand soap, we can create both crunchy and fluffy slime varieties in a snap. Let's dive into the world of soap slime!
One of the benefits of soap slime is that it's incredibly easy to make and customizable with various soap fragrances and colors. Plus, clean-up is a breeze β simply use warm water and soap to wash off any residue. Ready to start squishing?
Crunchy Soap Slime
Ingredients: 1/2 cup clear hand soap, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1-2 tbsp contact solution, food coloring (optional).
In a bowl, combine soap, water, and baking soda. Mix well until the baking soda is fully dissolved. Add desired food coloring and mix again. Slowly add contact solution, stirring as you go, until the slime forms and pulls away from the bowl. Knead the slime with your hands until it reaches your desired consistency. Enjoy!
Fluffy Soap Slime
Ingredients: 1/2 cup clear hand soap, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 tsp cream of tartar, 1-2 tbsp contact solution, small amount of lotion, food coloring (optional).
Follow the same steps as the crunchy soap slime, but add cream of tartar to the mixture instead of baking soda. Once the slime has formed, clay it with lotion for that perfect fluffy consistency. Don't be afraid to add more lotion if needed β just give it a good knead to incorporate it fully.
Borax-free Slime Recipes
For those looking to avoid borax or contact solution, we've got you covered with these borax-free slime recipes using ingredients like condensed milk and clear glue. Let's explore these alternatives!
These alternatives are just as fun and squishy as their borax and contact solution counterparts, with the added bonus of being gentler on sensitive skin. So grab your ingredients and let's get slime-ing!
Condensed Milk Slime
Ingredients: 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp cornstarch, food coloring (optional).
In a saucepan, combine condensed milk and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat, add food coloring if desired, and let it cool. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, knead it until the slime forms. Enjoy your borax-free creation!
Clear Glue & Starch Slime
Ingredients: 1/2 cup clear glue, 1 tbsp water, 1 tbsp borax, 2-3 tbsp white glue, food coloring (optional).
Mix clear glue and water in a bowl, then add borax. Stir well until the borax is fully dissolved. Separately, mix white glue with food coloring if desired. Slowly add the white glue to the clear glue mixture, stirring as you go, until the slime forms and pulls away from the bowl. Knead the slime with your hands until it reaches your desired consistency.
