How to make Shampoo Slime:
Get out a large mixing bowl. You will need plenty of room to mix everything together. Then add the shampoo to a large mixing bowl.
Add the food coloring. Then add in the food coloring and stir until it’s the color that you prefer. This is a lot of fun for the kids and they love watching it change colors.
Stir in the cornstarch. Combine the cornstarch thoroughly with the shampoo. This should form a crumbling mixture. The mixture will be thick but this is normal. Don’t worry about the thickness because the water will thin it out.
Gradually add the water. Then slowly add in the water. Just add 1-2 tablespoons at a time until the mixture is formed into a smooth slime. You may not need all the water so make sure to pour this slowly. Remember, it is easier to add more but not so easy to take away if excess is added.
Knead the slime. Then knead the slime until it’s smooth and stretchy. Continue to knead until it is the texture you desire. It should be well combined and easy to play with.
How to store slime
Store in an airtight container or bag at room temperature. If the slime dries out when it’s stored, just add a small amount of water to make it stretchy again!
This is a fun slime to make and provides so much fun. As long as you remember to store it properly, it will continue to provide lots of fun.
What do I do if my slime is too sticky?
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon baking soda on the slime. Knead the slime and baking soda together with your hands.
Continue to knead until the slime isn’t sticky. Be careful that you do not add too much baking soda. Just add a pinch and combine with the slime.
Shampoo slime tips
- Cold Water. Make sure to use cold water and gradually add it to the ingredients. You may not need all of the water so it is important to add this slowly.
- Shampoo. For best results, use a thick shampoo. This will give the slime the best texture. Don’t use anything very runny.
- Fragrance. Choose a shampoo in a fragrance that you love.
- Texture. The mixture will be thick once you add in the cornstarch. Don’t be tempted to add in extra water.
- Sticky Slime. You can add baking soda to the mixture if the slime is sticky. Start with ½ teaspoon and combine with the slime. This should improve the texture if it is sticky.
- Dry Slime. If the slime starts to dry out from being stored, add a little bit of water and combine. Continue to add water in very small increments until it is the consistency and texture you desire.
