In our latest ION Doll science video, we made super soft
& squishy slime without borax or glue.
I looked up several slime videos to see which experiment we wanted to
try and this fast & easy cleanup recipe looked like a fun slime diy to try! In addition to being clean and smelling great
from the conditioner you use, your hands also become moisturized & soft
(great for teachers & moms who have little time to clean & moisturize
themselves or their kiddos!)
You will need:
-Clear glass bowls.
You don’t have to use clear or glass bowls, we did so it is easier for everyone
to see what we are doing to make the slime.
-Forks or spatula. This part isn’t necessary. The best mixing is done with your hands and
Gabby loved to mix with her hands. It
gives kids more squishy slime play time, plus it smells great so not so much
worry about messy kids.
-Hair conditioner of your choice. You can use whatever you have on hand, but I
recommend a white conditioner so you can easily add food coloring to color your slime to your liking (cheap too-we used Suave brand)! The conditioner makes a great scented slime, that also leaves your skin super soft!
-Corn starch. The
corn starch helps thicken the conditioner into a manageable soft & squishy
slime to play with.
-Food coloring. The food coloring lets the kids experiment with assorted colors of
slime. If you don’t have any on hand and
still want to make slime, you can!
*Note: The order of
mixing didn’t seem to matter (we thought conditioner & food coloring
together first, would make things easier to mix together. It did not.)
We hope you had as much fun as we did making this super soft & squishy slime! We can’t wait to see you next
time!
