Sure Shot Recipe For Slime

While some of us may not be aware slime is great for sensory play and for your kid’s development. It’s fluffy, stretchy, non-sticky and gooey which makes it a plaything and perfect for sensory play.

Last year when we bought the kiddos slime on our way out from Singapore and packed it in a plastic box in our bags we had no idea how it could lead to a disaster too. The plastic boxes got smashed and slime was all over our new shoes, bags and husband’s new suit. But now thanks to Fevicol, we have an easy way to make slime at home and I will make sure not to carry it around! While nothing will happen even if they throw the slime on your fabric sofa do not sit on it for sure.

The kids got all excited when I told them I had a sure shot recipe for slime. We gathered up a few common household items and got to work. It was a great bonding session with my kids although it took a couple of tries to get it right. My advice for mothers- Turn it into a fun science experiment and go for a few trial and errors till you perfect the proportion!

You will Need:

Fevicol MR, Rangeela Tempera Colours, Concentrated Liquid Soap for utensils, Baking Soda, Contact Lens Solution or Carrom Board Powder, Spoon, Bowl.

Here is a quick video of how we made it at home

 Method:

• Take a bowl add 100 gms of Fevicol MR.
• Mix any Rangeela Tempera Colour of your choice. Use a spoon to form an even mixture.

• Add the concentrated liquid soap, (2tsp) to the Fevicol mixture. Stir well.
• Take another bowl and slowly add a small amount of baking soda or Carrom board powder (½ tsp) and water (or lens solution) (4tsp) and stir well again. Let the solution rest for some time.
• Now add one tsp of the baking soda or carom board powder solution to the Fevicol mixture. Stir well.

• Keep stirring till you get a slimy consistency. (You can add some lens solution and baking powder here if your slime is not forming)

• Your slime is ready !Stretch, knead, squish and play around.

For variations to the basic slime, you could add more elements like glitter, different colours, beads, theromcal balls, whatever comes to your mind.

After finishing it, keep it in an airtight box and if it gets hard try quickly running it under warm water and kneading it again.
