To make clear slime, you'll need clear glue, a slime activator (such as borax solution or liquid starch), water, and optional coloring or glitter for decoration. Here's a basic recipe:
Ingredients:
- Clear school glue (such as Elmer's Clear Glue)
- Slime activator (borax solution or liquid starch)
- Water
- Optional: Food coloring, glitter, or other decorative additives
Instructions:
1. Pour Clear Glue: Start by pouring clear glue into a mixing bowl. The amount depends on how much slime you want to make. A common ratio is about 1 part glue to 1 part water.
2. Dilute with Water: Add an equal amount of water to the glue in the mixing bowl. Stir well to combine until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
3. Add Color or Glitter (Optional): If you want to add color or glitter to your slime, this is the time to do it. Add a few drops of food coloring or glitter into the glue mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Keep in mind that the slime will appear lighter and more translucent once it's mixed with the activator.
4. Activate the Slime: Slowly add your slime activator of choice (borax solution or liquid starch) to the glue mixture, a little at a time, while stirring continuously. Add the activator until the slime starts to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Be careful not to add too much activator, as it can make the slime too stiff.
5. Knead the Slime: Once the slime begins to form, you can start kneading it with your hands. Keep kneading until the slime is smooth, stretchy, and no longer sticky. If the slime is still too sticky, you can add a little more activator until you reach the desired consistency.
6. Store the Slime: Once your clear slime is ready, you can store it in an airtight container when not in use to keep it from drying out.
Safety Note: Always supervise children when making and playing with slime, and avoid ingesting slime or letting it come into contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling slime.
Enjoy your homemade clear slime!
