Product Information

Once you gain experience making slime it is easy to change out an ingredient or two to change the whole recipe. Kids will LOVE this sand slime! STEP ONE: GLUE AND WATER Melting snowman slime, shimmery snow slime, pretty pink valentine’s day slime, purple valentine slime, red hot valentines day slime Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms, the tangled molecule strands are much like the clump of spaghetti! Read more the science of slime. Is slime a liquid or solid?

Slime is what we call a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it doesn’t follow the normal rules of liquids or solids. It can change its behavior depending on how we interact with it. Now it’s time to take the slime out of the bowl and knead it by pressing your fingers into it for a couple of minutes. When the sand was sifted, we poured a 4 oz bottle of white glue into a bowl.Next we added baking soda and stirred. The main ingredient responsible for the elasticity of slime is glue. Consider adding a bit more clear or white glue to your recipe. The additional glue will provide more bonding agents, resulting in a stretchier consistency.Once your slime is just right, take a small amount (about the size of a golf ball – see image below) and put it in the bowl. This slime recipe should last at least 1 week if stored properly. We have found that sand slime gets harder than regular slime faster because of the sand. Store in an air tight container or bag. We like to store in a resealable bag so we can press out all of the air from the bag. Ingredients Needed to Make Sand Slime Blot the stain: Use a clean, absorbent cloth or paper towel to blot the stained area. Press down firmly to absorb the moisture and lift the slime residue from the carpet. Continue blotting until no more slime transfers onto the cloth.

Slime is a special kind of gooey material that can stretch, squish, and mold. It’s made up of long chains of tiny molecules called polymers. Think of these chains as a bunch of small beads all linked together. Note: You can use less sand if you don’t have 1 cup. If you find it’s not enough you can always knead in a little more. We found 1 cup to make a nice consistency where it was still easy to stretch the slime but you could also feel the sand texture.Have special utensils for making slime. We have specific measuring cups, measuring spoons, spoons and bowls that we use to make slime with. Using the ones from your kitchen is not a good idea. You will want to use them to eat and slime is not something you want to be mixing with your food. We like using plastic spoons instead of metal ones when we are making slime. We find that it stirs better with a plastic spoon. The science behind slime is a lot of fun to explore. By trying different ingredients and ratios, we can create slime with different textures and properties. It’s a hands-on way to learn about polymers, reactions, and how materials can have unique characteristics.
