Slime Care!

Keep your slime feeling its best with a few easy habits and quick fixes.

Happy slime starts here

Before you play

Clean, dry hands

Wash and fully dry your hands to keep residue out of your slime.

Start slowly

Begin with gentle folds, then stretch faster once the slime warms up.

Seal it tight

Return slime to its container and close the lid completely after play.

Sticky slime rescue

Make activator

Mix this once, let it cool, and keep it nearby for slime that feels too sticky.

1 tsp borax 1 cup warm water

Quick slime fixes

STICKY My slime is sticky

Warm hands and rooms can make slime feel stickier. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then add activator 1–2 drops at a time and knead well before adding more.

STIFF My slime feels stiff

Let it reach room temperature, warm it with your hands, and stretch slowly. For an opaque slime, one tiny drop of unscented lotion can help. Skip lotion for clear slime.

TOO MUCH I added too much activator

Seal the slime and let it rest for a few days. Warmth and regular play usually soften it over time. For non-clear slime, knead in one tiny drop of unscented lotion if needed.

BEADS Beads are falling out

Crunchy slime may shed beads when it gets very inflated or begins to dry. Use gentler folds and slower stretches, and remove loose beads before storing.

CLEAR My clear slime looks cloudy

This is usually just tiny air bubbles from play. Seal the slime and leave it untouched for 2–5 days so it can become clear again.

SHRUNK My slime got smaller

Slime naturally loses moisture with time and play. Keep it tightly sealed and avoid leaving it open in warm or dry rooms.
