How to make slime without glue or activator

Imagine a rainy day with no plans and a child eager for a fun, hands-on activity. While scrolling through DIY projects, you realize that traditional slime recipes call for glue and activators, which you’ve run out of. The kids are counting on you to bring their creativity to life, and you need a foolproof way to whip up some slime that doesn’t require those all-too-common ingredients. Fear not! There are alternative methods to achieve that satisfying, squishy texture without a trip to the store.

To make this slime-like substance, mix 1 cup of cornstarch with about 1/2 cup of water in a bowl. Stir the mixture until it reaches a consistency that is both solid and liquid; this means when you apply pressure, it should feel solid, but when you let it go, it should flow like a liquid. If it’s too dry, add a little more water; if it’s too runny, add more cornstarch until you get the desired texture. You can also enhance the fun by adding food coloring or glitter for a pop of color and sparkle. Enjoy the sensory experience as this unique blend provides both a tactile adventure and an engaging science experiment!
