Can you use any clay for slime? There are several types of clay you can use. We have chosen to use the Crayola Model Magic clay as it’s readily available. The glue is a polymer of long, repeating, and identical strands or molecules. These molecules with flow past one another and keep the glue liquid. Until…

We love making Slimes and proudly all are slimes are tested by a professional slime tester,(Me😝) and only if I am happy you will get to play with it! So, when you buy a slime from my Australian Slime Shop , be rest assured you are going to love it 💖.Try placing the butter slime in a bowl of hot water and letting it sit for a few minutes. Once the water temperature cools down enough to touch, knead the slime while it’s in the water. This will help to make the slime more stretchy and soft again. Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms, the tangled molecule strands are much like a clump of spaghetti! Is slime a liquid or solid? What’s cool about this slime? First, it stays nice and stretchy for a lot longer. Second, it’s a bit moldable. Third, it has a smooth, rich, and silky feeling texture! Safety tips: Adults only should make the slime and handle all chemicals. Do not substitute any ingredients in our slime recipes. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while playing with the slime. Always wash hands before and after use. If you notice any skin irritation discontinue use immediately. See the bottom of the post for more safety precautions. Butter slime is definitely the best the first day you make it. What can I do to make my butter slime soft again?

We hope you love this butter slime recipe as much as we do! You can also substitute the clay and add some cornstarch in for a similar consistency. We would recommend about 2-4 tablespoons of cornstarch.Get your muscles ready for this one! Mixing this will take a few minutes, so don’t get discouraged that it doesn’t happen immediately. We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here! Slime is an excellent chemistry demonstration, and kids love it too!

From all the recipes we tested, butter slime is not very stretchy. We’ve added in water, baby oil and baby lotion to help make it stretchier. If you do not want it to be stretchy and want it to be more of a moldable substance you can skip these ingredients. Slime should not be placed in the mouth. Always wash hands before and after playing with the slime. So first of all with any and all of our slime recipes you always need parental supervision while they’re experimenting, please refer to our safety disclaimer. Note: If you want to make a butter slime but don’t have clay… look at our Butter Slime without Clay recipe!Some butter slime recipes call for shaving cream, but this one is made with Model Magic and lotion. This will yield a super stretchy clay slime that doesn’t lose its volume after a few days like shaving cream slime inevitably does. You might even think it won’t work initially, but keep kneading your slime, and it will come together for you!

Add a little amount of clay (as pictured below) and fold over your slime and knead it into the slime. Keep kneading until your slime is colored and the clay is thoroughly mixed.Mixtures, substances, polymers, cross-linking, states of matter, elasticity, and viscosity are just a few science concepts that can be explored with homemade slime!
