How To Make A Fluffy Slime

Fluffy, smooth slime can keep children busy for hours. Considered as safe and edible in some instances, slime has become a popular trend with little kids and teens. Don’t have to worry about the ingredients of making slime as they are available in standard retail corners and right in your home kitchen.

The shape changes as you pull, twitch, roll, roll, and squeeze a slime. A fluffy slime melts when you touch it with warm hands.

Note For Parents

Remember that slime making is a messy process. The components can get on our clothes, in our mouth or spread on the floor. Therefore supervision of children during slime making is essential. They are very sensitive and vulnerable to the side effects of the chemicals used in slime manufacturing. So, we suggest covering yourself and your kids with appropriate preventive things like an apron, face mask, and goggles.

Please do the slime making near the washroom. If by any means, any constituent gets into the eyes or mouth, you can immediately wash it off thoroughly.

After making the fluffy slime, you must clean the floor, table, bowls, spoons and the entire surroundings. Don’t let your kids swallow the soft rubbery slime. If they eat it, seek a doctor. Also, take care of the added small toys (optional) as the little darlings can chew them too and get choked.
