Making Slime Can Be as Much Fun as Playing with It! And it is Perfectly Safe. Here are Some Easy Recipes on How to Make Slime with Toothpaste

Ingredients:

• Shampoo
• Bowl for mixing
• Spoon for stirring

Procedure:

• Add a dollop of shampoo into the bowl. It is of paramount importance to use a shampoo that is of thick consistency. If you can get a shampoo that is opaque in nature or white in color, it would work better. So add the thick shampoo about 2 tablespoons.


• Add 1 to 2 drops of food coloring if you are making use of white shampoo. The smell of the shampoo should be kept in mind. A minty smelling substance is always better and will work better than a substance with a fruity smell.


• This minty smell is what you will get with the toothpaste. A small amount of any gel toothpaste should be added into the shampoo in the bowl. A white colored and minty toothpaste will work better, however, if you don’t have it, you can use the striped kind. One teaspoon of toothpaste is good to add into the shampoo.


• With your spoon, stir the shampoo and toothpaste together. The continuous stirring of the substances will produce a gooey substance. It usually takes about 1 minute to get this gooey substance.


• Other things which you can use to stir, apart from a spoon, are toothpick or Popsicle stick.


• You can add more toothpaste and shampoo only if it is necessary and continue to stir. If the slime produce is too hard, add more shampoo. On the other hand, if the slime produced is too oozy, more toothpaste should be added.


• The slime should be stirred again for one minute or until there is uniformity in texture and color. Making slime has no right way or wrong way. It is mostly based on your preference.


• If your slime is somehow too gooey, you have nothing to worry about as you can freeze it. Freezing slime will firm it up. You should freeze it for about 10 to 60 minutes. After 10 minutes, check the slime to know its texture. A slime is expected to feel firm.


• Freeze it again for more 50 minutes if it is squishy. The slime should be kneaded until it soft again. With your fingers roll and squeeze it until it is soft and squishy again. The texture of the slime before you freeze it won’t be the same.


• Play with your thick slime and put it away after playing. It should be kept in a plastic container that has a cover.
