Here are our best tips and tricks on how to make slime less sticky!

I often get asked how to make slime less sticky.  When this whole slime-craze started at our house, I thought this was a great way for kids to be creative, use a little science, and even practice their kitchen skills with some measuring and mixing.  About six months into weekly (sometimes daily) slime making, I was surprised that my daughter and her friend were still so interested in slime making.

My daughter quickly learned that I won’t tolerate slime stuck on my table, my floor, my furniture and especially my carpet.  I throw all sticky slimes straight to the garbage bin, so she has mastered the least sticky slime possible!  One of our favorite recipes is a fluffy slime that is borax free.

How to Make Slime Less Sticky

Here are some tips from my slime experts (who have tried it all!)

• Knead your slime.  Even though the slime is sticky at the beginning of the process, it is super important to keep kneading.  As you knead, the slime begins to start sticking to itself and not to your fingers.  The girls tell me they are usually able to remove stickiness by simply kneading a little more than they thought they needed.
• Add a little more contact solution.  If your recipe calls for contact solution as an activator, added small amounts (and continuing to knead) can help take the sticky out.
• You can also try adding a teaspoon or so of baby oil.
• Let the slime breathe.  We have found that just letting the slime get some air can take away the sticky.  This is especially true with the clear slime.  My daughter will often let it sit out for an hour or two, or even over night, and when she comes back and starts kneading, the stickiness is gone.

Slime Recipes and tips!

More than one year later (Yes, I said YEAR!) the slime making is still going, my daughter is now purchasing her own supplies, and she is still having fun with her friends mixing and sliming (I think this should be a new word in Webster’s dictionary!) After a year of intense slime making, we have tried too many recipes to count and have learned what works and what doesn’t work.

We hope you will try our slime recipes? We have tried to make sure we measure out the slime ingredients so you know exactly how to make each recipe. However, we have noticed the weather does make a difference in the results.  On humid days we might need a bit more activator (most cases contact solution). Also, we have found that the no glue slime doesn’t last long since my daughter’s hands are always warm.  It tends to disintegrate in her hot little hands.

If you are looking a basic recipe check out How to make Slime (Gak) This is the easiest recipe only needing two ingredients: liquid starch and glue!

Try this slime recipe with shaving cream to make a fluffy slime.

If you want a stretchy slime that holds it shape Butter Slime is for you.  Adding a little bit of modeling clay does the trick.

Glow in the dark paint can actually be used to make Glowing Slime! We can’t wait to try Elmer’s Glow in the Dark glue too.

Clear slime is super fun. Let this one set a day or two to become really clear!

If you ever wondered how to make slime without glue this recipe will show you how.

We hope all our tips and tricks have shown you how to make slime less sticky! Good luck! If you are looking for some non-slime activities try making oobleck, moon sand and playdough. You can even tell a few kids jokes or ask some would you rather questions while you whip up these fun concoctions!

CH 2 and work 2 HDC in each st around, join with slip st in top of ch 2 (16sts)

Ch 1 and work 1 sc in front loop of each st (16 sts) Join with sl st in ch 1

Rows 2-5: *CH 1 and work 1sc in each st around join with sl st in ch1*

Rnd 6-14: *CH 2 work 1 HDC in each st in the round. Join with sl st in top of ch2*
       (a total of 9 rounds)

Rnd 15- 19: Ch 1 and work 1 sc in each st in the round. Sl st in ch 1 to join

Rnd 20:  CH 3, skip the next 2 sts *sc, ch2, skip next 2 sts* repeat steps between * until the end. Sl st in base of ch 3. 

FLAP: Ch2 and work 3 HDC in the chain space from previous round. Work another 3 HDC in the next chain 2 space. Ch2 and turn work. Work 1 HDC in each st (6 sts). Ch2 and turn work, working 1 HDC in each st across (6sts)  CH2 and turn work, working 1 HDC in each st. Ch 5 and sl st into last st and ch 1.  Finish off and weave in ends. Place chapstick in the holder to determine where to attach button.

Let me show you how to make graduation hat cookies.  You don’t have to order your cookies you can make them yourself! So if you know a preschool, Kindergarten, high school, or college graduate you’re in luck these sugar cookies will be a perfect addition to your celebrations.

Sugar Cookie Decorating Tips and Resources

• sugar cookies and royal icing recipes  and tips and tricks
• graduation cookie cutters can be found at craft stores or baking supply stores
• If you want to put your cookies on a stick, roll them out nice and thick, cut them out, then put them on your pan.  Chill them on the pan for about 20 min or so.  Take them out and insert the stick, centered in the thickness of the cookie.  Chilling them will keep them from distorting when you put the stick in.
• Put a toothpick in the top of the frosting squeeze bottles to keep them from getting .clogged and dried out.   Remember how fast royal icing dries.   
• Bubbles in your frosting are the enemy to smooth cookies.  After you fill a cookie with royal icing, you will notice slight bumps.  Take a toothpick and pop em!  But do this right away!  As it starts to dry, it will leave a mark that won’t smooth over.
