How to make really sticky mud

Get our friendly recipe for sparkling mud GOOITE, the most colorful and the most colorful.


Make glutinous and sticky mud can be a ton of fun for children and adults. The result of a reaction between the sodium borate, the water and a polymer such as Elmer glue, Slime is soft and extensible, but not sticky.

Slime is mainly solid (if you throw it on a wall, it will land with a plop like another hard substance), but it is a kind of liquid as well (if you slowly discharge it in a container, it will pour fundamentally as thick paste). What could be more fun to play with?

Slime first entered in the 1970s as toy made fromGuar gum. Although there are several slime ready-to-use products on the market today, the substance is now more popular as a fun DIY project. The process may be as fun as playing with the finished product. In addition, when you do it yourself, it may be any color you want (and adorned with glitter, too).

There are dozens of online recipes for Slime, some borrax or hard detergents. We believe that this method, which contains a washable glue, a baking soda and a contact protection solution, is probably the safest when involving children. Happy thin!
