Chemical Free Slime – No glue or borax needed

18 Comments

Ok so slime is still all the rage in my house anyway with my eldest daughter. She is always coming up with the best slime recipes but I challenged her the other day to come up with how to make slime without glue or borax and she came up with a great idea that I thought I would share with you all.

Material

1 Bottle of handwash (foaming ones are better)
1 Packet of Bluetac
1 Bowl

Method

It’s pretty straight forward - Knead together blue tac and handwash
adding 1/2-1 squirt at a time
knead together until desired texture is achieved (this can take some time)
add small amounts of soap at a time to make it smoother

Notes

Fun little activity to do on the holidays with your little ones. Also if you have your own home day care this is a great method for making slime.

We tried making it many ways. But always ended up with big mess.

So easy to make. Just wonder if it sticks to the carpet the wat normal sline does?.

Blue tag and hand wash are not chemical free in my humble opinion ! I wouldn’t like my kids to eat this

It is still toxic, what do you think blu tak is made from? and anything that foams also has toxic chemicals, this is really a false headline. Only safe play dough is the one you make with flour and water!
