In brief

You’ll make stretchy, playful slime using just glue and laundry detergent—no borax or cornstarch needed. This quick, hands-on recipe is perfect for middle schoolers (age 13+) and yields a gooey texture in minutes. Just mix, knead, and adjust until it reaches that satisfying squishy consistency.

Description from the creator

Here is a super easy recipe to make slime using only glue and regular liquid laundry detergent! Slime, also called goo, silly putty, oobleck, or flubber, is a gooey substance that is fun to squeeze and play with it. It only requires two ingredients that you probably already have at your house. You do not need borax or cornstarch for this. The activity featured in this video is traditionally a middle school activity (age 13+).

You will need:

- Elmer's glue (or any generic white school glue)
- Liquid laundry detergent (any brand, but Tide works the best)
- bowl
- spoon or rubber spatula

Step 1. Pour about 1/4 cup of glue into a bowl
You can use a measuring cup to measure it if you like, or you can just estimate it.

Step 2. Add approximately 1 Tablespoon of liquid laundry detergent.

Step 3. Stir well
You may need to add more liquid laundry detergent if it seems to be too sticky. After a few minutes it will take on the nice oooey gooey texture of slime! Take your time and let it work!

It will keep well for a few days if you keep it covered or put it in a zip baggie. Do not get it on carpet since it's hard to remove. Some people like to add food coloring to it for fun also.

Have fun!

I would love to hear your comments about how your slime works if you try this method. Thanks!
