What is slime for?
Slime is a squishy, stretchy sensory toy that hits all your senses at once. You get the texture (touch), the scent (smell), the colours (sight) and those satisfying ASMR sounds (hearing). Loads of people find playing with it calming and a great way to unwind, plus it's just really fun to make and play with.

 

What is slime made of?
Most slime is made from two main things: PVA glue (school glue) and an activator. When you mix them, the activator links the long glue molecules together, turning a runny liquid into stretchy slime. It's basically a mini science experiment you can play with!

 

What is an activator?
An activator is what turns glue into slime. The most common ones are borax solution, contact lens solution mixed with baking soda, or liquid starch. Our recipes tell you exactly which activator to use and how much, so you get the perfect texture every time.

 

Who can make slime?
Anyone! Our recipes are great for beginners and slime pros alike. Younger makers should always have an adult helping, especially when handling activators.

 

My slime is sticky!
Don't worry, this is super common, especially in hot weather. Just add a tiny bit more activator and knead it in. Go slowly though, a little goes a long way!

 

My slime is stiff or over activated!
Not a problem! Slime can stiffen up if it's played with for ages or kept somewhere cold. Pop it in a warm place with the lid on and it'll soften back up. Adding a small amount of lotion or warm water and kneading it in can help too.

 

My slime won't fit back in its container!
WOW, sounds like you've inflated your slime! That's so cool. Squeeze and pop the air bubbles out and try again. If it still won't fit, pop the extra in any airtight container (even a ziplock bag) until it deflates back to normal.

 

My clear slime isn't clear anymore!
Playing with slime traps tiny air bubbles inside, which makes clear slime look cloudy. Just leave it sealed in its container for a few days and the bubbles will rise out, leaving it crystal clear again.

 

How do I make my slime last longer?
Always store it in an airtight container, keep it away from direct sunlight, and play with clean hands. Dirt and dust are slime's biggest enemies!
