Making ice slime
The easiest way to make slime at home is with ice.
To prepare a toy you will need:
- mixing container;
- cold water (half a cup);
- ice cubes (5 cubes);
- baking soda (2 teaspoons);
- transparent office glue;
- mixing stick or spoon;
- plate.
Cooking method:
- Pour water into a plate (preferably a deep one), add all the ice and soda there, mix thoroughly and leave until the ice is completely dissolved.
- We are waiting for all the ice to melt in the water, after which we pour the office glue into the center of the bowl with a thin stream.
- Using a spoon or stick, gently move the glue mass.
- We take out the mass with our hands and continue to stir it for 1-2 minutes, after which we put it in a container and place it in the refrigerator for infusion.
The finished hendgum has a transparent consistency. The only drawback of the toy is that in the hands it melts too quickly and acquires a liquid consistency.
Soda Slime Recipes
Soda acts as the main ingredient in many slime recipes. Below we will look at a recipe for how to make the simplest slime at home from soda without complex and scarce ingredients.
We need:
- 100 ml of water;
- 50 ml of stationery transparent glue or PVA glue;
- 15 grams of baking soda.
Cooking method:
- Prepare a thickener in a separate container. To do this, thoroughly dissolve the specified amount of soda in water.
- Pour all the glue into another container. If you want to get a colored slime, add dye to the glue.
- Gradually pour the thickener into the glue mass and mix everything thoroughly until the mixture becomes homogeneous.
If you are making a slime for a child, you can involve them in the mixing process. During the game, be careful that the baby does not eat the toy.
The best recipes for cloud slime without snow
To make a slime, follow the dosage and procedure exactly. But it is not always possible to indicate a certain amount of thickener: it varies depending on the quality of the remaining components and the nature of mixing the composition. Further popular working recipes for cloud slime without snow.
Slime with light plasticine
The recipe for how to make cloud slime without snow uses airy plasticine. It creates the basis for the future toy. Due to its light texture, plasticine provides volume and elasticity to the product. You will also need shaving foam or shampoo to make the slime stretch well. They thicken the mixture, thanks to them the slime is stretched into a film. Add kinetic sand if desired. Its particles are very small, they form a fine structure of the slime.
Ingredients:
- a bag of air plasticine;
- kinetic sand (the volume depends on the selected amount of plasticine);
- 1-2 tbsp. l. shaving foam.
Preparation method:
- Knead the clay well in your hands so that it stretches and becomes soft.
- Add a little kinetic sand. The finished mass is stretched, drizzling, but not thick.
- Form a cake from the resulting composition and cover it with a layer of shaving foam.
- Knead the slime with your hands until the foam is completely absorbed and the slime is elastic and airy.
When deciding how to make cloud slime without artificial snow, stock up on fresh ingredients. Stuck plasticine becomes hard, it is difficult to knead it. But if there is no other material at hand, add some hot water to the toy and mash: boiling water will help return the plasticine to its former softness.
Slime with hydrogel
Baby diaper filler is a great recipe for making cloud slime without snow. This substance, mixed with cotton wool and synthetic fibers inside the diaper, resembles artificial snow and perfectly replaces it.To get the hydrogel, open the diaper and remove the contents. You will also need PVA or silicate glue, tetraborate and shaving foam.
Ingredients:
- a bottle of PVA glue;
- hydrogel from one small diaper;
- 1 tbsp. l. shaving foam and liquid soap;
- sodium tetraborate.
Preparation method:
- Squeeze the glue into a container.
- Remove the hydrogel from the diaper and place it in a separate bowl.
- Add shaving foam and liquid soap to the glue.
- Stir, color if desired and add flavor.
- Thicken the glue mass with tetraborate, adding it drop by drop and mixing the composition.
- Inject the hydrogel a little at a time, but don't overdo it. If the slime doesn't stretch and tears, add more glue.
The consistency of the toy does not differ from that prepared with artificial snow. The recipe is simple and suitable for children.
Slime with starch
The recipe is even simpler than the previous one. For the manufacture of slime, in addition to glue, you will need starch. It creates a thick texture, and its particles form a kind of cloud. Acrylic paint is suitable for staining.
Ingredients:
- 60-70 ml of glue;
- 70 g starch;
- 150 ml of cold water.
Preparation method:
- Dissolve the starch with water and stir until the consistency of the mixture becomes homogeneous.
- Pour the composition into a zip bag.
- Add glue, dye if desired.
- Close the bag tightly and knead it with your hands until the slime thickens.
- When excess liquid comes out of the composition, drain it.
- Take out the slime and knead it with your hands until it thickens.
Put the resulting slime in the refrigerator.
What is cloud slime?
Cloud slime is a product resembling a cloud in appearance and consistency. It got its name in English, where "cloud" means "cloud", "cloud". A wool-like structure is achieved through the addition of artificial snow or other fine particulate ingredients.
But in the proposed recipes there is no artificial snow: this element is far from always found at home at hand. It also requires dilution with water, and it can be difficult to guess the amount of liquid to obtain a suitable consistency.
Kinetic sand is used instead of artificial snow. Shaving foam, diaper gel, starch give the slime airiness and lightness. Ready slime stretches well, soft to the touch, elastic.
This is how it differs from a similar type - snow or snow slime, which crunches when squeezed, more dense and does not stretch well.
Important! Do not think that cloud slime is obtained only with the use of artificial snow. There are recipes to achieve the perfect consistency in the absence of this ingredient.
With shampoo
Only thick glue and shampoo are suitable for this recipe. After all, the workpiece should turn out to be cool so that the additive that turns it into a cloud does not thin the mass too much.
Cooking method
- PVA glue placed in a deep container is combined with shampoo.
- After mixing, the liquid must be thickened with an activator.
- Now they work in it with a spatula until it turns into an elastic mass.
- It is crumpled a little more in the hands to make a classic slime.
- Artificial snow is poured into another container.
- Water is poured into it.
- The components need to be stirred so that the moisture will increase the "snowflakes".
- Slime is placed in a container with them.
- Swollen grains must be mixed into the soft mass.
Without water
The absence of water in the base for the slime allows you to make its texture perfect and save time for making the toy. And artificial snow swells from the moisture contained in the glue. There is also water in the activator, which is prepared from 200 ml of liquid and 2 tsp. sodium tetraborate. But even in it, you can not use it, but get by with the drug in its pure form. Then it will take only 3-4 drops.
How to cook cloud at home
- The first component is PVA glue, but it needs to be moved from the bottle to the cup.

- The next step is to add dry artificial snow to it.
