How to make slime: Simple slime recipe using household products

My niece Gia has become the family slime expert, quickly learning how to make it at home after her mother (my sister) and I refused to buy it anymore.

It can be expensive!

Particularly when it's had glitter added to it or a fancy name such as 'toxic slime'.

What toy manufacturers don't want you to know is that slime is so easy to make, using common household products.

GIA'S SLIME RECIPE

Ingredients

1/2 cup PVA Craft Glue

1/2 cup shaving foam

1/4 cup moisturiser

1 teaspoon Borax

1 cup water

Food colouring/glitter optional

Method

Place glue and shaving foam in a bowl and mix.

Add lotion and stir again. This will make the slime stretchy.

Add food colouring/glitter.

Mix the Borax and water in a separate bowl and begin adding one teaspoon at a time. This will turn the mixture into slime.

Stir thoroughly each time you add a teaspoon of activator until the slime reaches a desired consistency. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
