Slime captures the imagination of both children and adults. The good news is that making slime can also be a fun and educational experiment. There are several ways you can make slime from household products like baking soda and milk. You can make a simple gooey mixture or go one step further and make a bubbling bowl of slime.

To step

Method 1 of 3: Make soap slime

1. Measure out the correct amount of baking soda. Sprinkle 300 grams of baking soda in a mixing bowl. Start with about 300 grams. However, it is not necessary to use a specific amount for this type of slime. It shouldn't be a problem if you use a little more or less than 300 grams.
2. Play with the slime. You can play with your toys in the slime. For example, pretend it's toxic waste and drop toy figures in it and save each other. You can also use the slime to decorate a diorama. For example, make a diorama of a haunted house, in which the slime is a scary attraction.
   • Do not swallow the mucus. This slime should not be eaten.

Method 2 of 3: Make bubbling slime

1. Chill your mixture overnight. The mixture will be too liquid to use at first. To get a sticky texture, refrigerate the mixture. It only takes two to three hours for the mixture to thicken, but it is best to leave it in the fridge overnight. This gives the xanthan gum time to dissolve completely.
2. Cover a surface with baking soda. Do this in a sink or bathtub so that you use a surface that is easy to clean afterwards. Sprinkle the baking soda on the surface of your choice or on the bottom of a container so that the surface is covered with a thin layer of baking soda.
3. Add green food coloring. With a few drops of green food coloring, your slime will turn a green color. Add a few drops and stir them into the mixture. Add more food coloring if you want a green color that is slightly darker.
4. Play with the slime. When the slime is ready you can play with it. You can try shaping it with your hands. You can also use it to decorate something like a diorama. For example, use the slime to create a cloudy pond in a forest.
   • Keep the mucus away from your mouth. You cannot safely eat this slime.

Tips

• Only allow children to make slime under supervision
• Add a little water if lumps form in the slime.

Warnings
