The latter can be bought in liquid form in pharmacies or in bulk form in hardware stores. The mechanics are extremely simple: you need to mix the components in a container with a spatula until you get a viscous mixture.

We determine the volumes of ingredients based on the consistency of the mass. And voila - the slime is ready.

OPTION # 2 

  • Liquid soap or shampoo
  • PVA glue
  • Baking soda
  • Food coloring (if needed)
  • Container and mixing devices

This option includes ingredients that are always on hand at home. Pour liquid soap or shampoo into a container, add PVA glue (for 2 tablespoons of shampoo / soap - about 200 ml of glue). After stirring, add a little soda until a viscous mixture is obtained.

Next - take out the mass and knead it with your fingers.
