Using Dish Soap And Cornstarch To Make Slime

Ingredients

• Cornstarch (2 tablespoons)
• Dish Soap (1 ½ tablespoon)
• Glitter (optional)
• Food coloring
• Bowl
• spoon

Directions

1. Add a good quantity of dish soap and cornstarch to make more slime. Consider using some colored or scented dish soap. Use green dish soap for a more traditional slime. You can use shampoo instead of dish soap.  
2. You can add some food coloring or glitter if you want to. It will make your slime more engaging. Add a drop of food coloring if you used clear dish soap. Add a pinch of glitter if you want sparkly slime. 
3. Stir everything together with a spoon.
4. After that, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch into a mixing bowl. This will make the dish soap paste thick and turn it into slime. You will need to use more cornstarch If you used more dish soap. Use cornflour instead, if you can’t find cornstarch.
5. Keep stirring the paste for about 10 seconds. The dish soap and cornstarch will come together and react to form slime as you stir.
6. Lastly, knead the slime by hand. The dish soap will pick up all the cornstarch. Once that happens, dig in with your hands and start kneading it with your fingers until everything is completely mixed. Add more cornstarch, If the slime is too runny. Moreover, If the slime is too thick, add more dish soap.

Using Yogurt And Cornstarch To Make Slime

Things that you’ll Need

• Bowl
• Spoon
• Food coloring (optional)
• Yogurt (1 tablespoon)
• Cornstarch (3 tablespoons)

Directions

1. Scoop 1 tablespoon of yogurt into a bowl. Use unsweetened yogurt, as it is best for this process. You can use any type of yogurt you want, but make sure that it is smooth, with no chunky bits of fruit in it. Add more quantity of yogurt if you want to make more slime. Plan on using 1 part yogurt and 3 parts cornstarch.
2. If you want to make your slime look more interesting, add some food coloring. Add in a drop or two of food coloring, then stir it in with a spoon.

4. You can start kneading it by hand once the ingredients start to leave the sides of the bowl. Keep stirring and kneading until the ingredients come together and form a glob of slime.
