Slime has taken the world by storm, becoming a popular DIY project for both kids and adults. While most slime recipes require an activator like borax or liquid starch, not everyone has those ingredients readily available or prefers to use them due to safety concerns. The good news is that you can still enjoy making slime without an activator. In this blog post, we will share an easy and safe slime recipe that uses common household items.

What You’ll Need

  • White school glue or clear glue
  • Baking soda
  • Contact lens solution
  • Food coloring (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your very own slime without using an activator:

  1. Pour 1 cup of white school glue or clear glue into a bowl. If you want colored slime, add a few drops of food coloring and mix well.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the glue and mix thoroughly. The baking soda helps to activate the slime-making process.
  3. Slowly add contact lens solution to the mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Mix well after each addition.
  4. Continue adding contact lens solution and mixing until the slime starts to form and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The exact amount of contact lens solution needed may vary depending on the brand, so add it gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
  5. Knead the slime with your hands until it is smooth and stretchy. If it’s too sticky, add a few more drops of contact lens solution and continue kneading until it reaches the desired texture.
  6. Your slime is now ready to be played with! Store it in an airtight container when not in use to keep it from drying out.

Tips for Success

Here are some helpful tips to ensure your slime-making experience goes smoothly:

  • If you don’t have contact lens solution, you can substitute it with saline solution that contains boric acid and sodium borate.
  • If your slime turns out too sticky, you can add a small amount of extra glue and knead it in until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • If your slime is too stiff, try adding a little more contact lens solution and kneading it until it becomes stretchy.
  • For a fun twist, you can add glitter, small beads, or other small toys to your slime for unique textures and visual effects.
  • Adult supervision is recommended, especially when younger children are involved in the slime-making process.

Now that you know how to make slime without an activator, you can enjoy this gooey and satisfying sensory activity with ease. Get creative with colors and add fun elements to personalize your slime. It’s a great way to unleash your imagination and engage in a hands-on project that everyone can enjoy!
