Crunchy slime has a grainy texture and makes creaking sounds when used for play. If you want to try a new sensory experience with slime, you've found the right recipe! The crunchy slime is easy to make and is a great stress reliever for all lovers of this toy.
Ingrediants
- 115 g of clear glue
- 120 ml of warm water
- Plastic beads
- Liquid starch
- Food coloring (optional)
Steps
Step 1. Pour 115g of clear glue into a bowl
Step 2. Add 120ml of warm water and mix well
Adjust the speed at which you mix the ingredients according to the consistency you want to achieve. If you want to make a crunchy and fluffy slime, you should mix it quickly to make it frothy. If you want to get a clear slime, mix gently and squeeze the bubbles as they form
Step 3. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring
Some dyes can be quite concentrated, so add just a couple of drops initially. Pay more if you think it's necessary.
Step 4. Incorporate the plastic beads
This is the secret ingredient for crunchy slime! Stir evenly until it is well incorporated into the slime.
Adding the beads at this stage of the process allows them to be incorporated well into the solution. You can add them later, but if you do, they may come off or fall off the slime
Step 5. Add liquid starch and mix
You shouldn't pour in too much at once, as it can harden the slime and prevent you from using it for play. Instead, to start, just pour in a few teaspoons of starch and mix. The slime will begin to clump and thicken. Add enough starch to make the solution compact.
Step 6. Knead the slime
Once the slime has retreated from the sides of the bowl and feels solid enough to touch, pick it up with your hands and start kneading it to make it less sticky.
Step 7. Play with the slime
Put it in an airtight container when you finish using it.
Advice
- If the beads are small, you can incorporate more into the slime. The size and quantity of beads used are factors that affect the consistency and sound emitted by the compound.
- Liquid starch can be replaced with a borax-based solution. Just add 1 teaspoon of powdered borax to 1 cup of hot water. Stir until you get a clear solution and use it to activate the slime.
- Try not to use too many beads or they may start to fall out.
Warnings
- The beads can cause choking, so after the procedure is done, put them away and keep them out of the reach of children.
- Adding excessive amounts of activator can make the slime excessively hard.
- If you have sensitive hands, the beads can be bothering you.
