Add food coloring to the glue mixture. Choose any food color you like. Green is a popular color, but feel free to try any color. Start with a few drops of food coloring and stir. If you want a light color keep adding a few drops of food coloring.

• You can also divide the glue mixture into small bowls and add different colors to each bowl.

Mix the borax mixture with the glue mixture. Put the two mixes in a large bowl. Then stir well. You will see the slime slowly forming!

• If you choose to make small amounts of slime in separate bowls, distribute the borax evenly into each bowl.
• At this point, you can start kneading the slime manually. It might be sticky but keep kneading it. Add borax if needed.

Get your slime out! Once done there will be some standing water and this is normal. Just take the slime out of the water and pour it away. advertisement

Method 2 of 4: Slime "live"

1. 

   Mix 3/4 cup cornstarch (90 grams) with 2 cups vegetable oil (240ml). Put both ingredients in a large bowl. Then stir well.
   • When making this slime (also known as oobleck), you can use a number of alternative ingredients for cornstarch.

2. 

   Take the mixture out of the refrigerator. Stir well (as the ingredients will separate). Let the mixture cool down and dilute gradually.

3. 

   
   
   Slowly pour the slime mixture into the bowl. Place the sponge in front of the slime flow before pouring. The sponge should be 2.5 cm from the flow. The electrostatic charge will cause the slime to stop flowing and to sprout on its own.
   • Move the sponge and the slime will move along. The children will be very surprised by that!

Method 3 of 4: Slime is edible

1. 

   Heat the mixture over low heat. Turn to low heat and keep stirring the mixture continuously as it heats up. If you don't stir, the mixture will stick to the pan.

2. 

   
   
   Remove the mixture from the stove when it thickens. As the temperature rises, the slime becomes pliable and difficult to stir. If you see this way, remove the pan from the stove.

3. 

   Add 10 to 15 drops of food coloring to the mixture. You can choose any color you want! Green is the primary color, but try other colors or let the children choose one.

4. 

   Mix 1 cup of flake soap (120 grams) with 4 cups of hot water (480ml). Measure out the soap flakes and place in a bowl. Carefully pour hot water into the bowl. Stir well until the soap is completely dissolved.

5. 

   Stir the mixture vigorously with a spoon. It will bubble when you stir. The standard consistency is when the mixture can come off easily and become sticky to the touch.

6. 

   Place the slime in an airtight container or bag. Slime will last long in airtight storage. You should not leave it in the sun or heat. advertisement

Advice

• Don't put the slime on the carpet as it will stick to the carpet.
• Don't let pets and children play slime.
• Pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture slowly and stir with a spoon. When it's thick, knead the mixture with your hands. The mixture will gradually become a slime.
• To make slime simple and effective, just add glue, detergent, food coloring and mix well.
• When you put the slime in the cup and press it down, it makes a funny sound.
• If you don't want to use borax, try cornstarch.
• Make sure all ingredients are stirred.
• You can add essential oils or fragrant soapy water to the slime to make it smell good.
• Stir the milk glue and the food color first, then adding borax and water will work better.
• If you add color to the slime, it can stain objects.
• When making slime with gel and detergent, add shaving cream or lathering hand soap.
• Wash your hands after playing with borax slime.
• When adding food coloring, be sure to stir it well or it will create a different reaction.
