how do you make slime with toothpaste
Answers
Pour a dollop of thick shampoo into a little dish. Choose a shampoo with a thick consistency. Something that's white or opaque would work even better. Place two squeezes, or about 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters), of the shampoo into a little dish.
Add a small amount of toothpaste. Opaque toothpaste (white or mint colored) will work the best, but you can try the striped kind as well. Use a quarter amount of toothpaste as you did shampoo. About 1 teaspoon or so will be enough.
Colgate toothpaste seems to work the best, but you can try other brands too.
Stir the two together with a toothpick. As you stir, the shampoo and toothpaste will come together to form a gooey substance. This will take about a minute or so.[1]
If you don't have a toothpick, use something else that's small, like a popsicle stick or a little spoon.
Add more shampoo or toothpaste, if needed, and continue stirring. If the slime is too hard, add some more shampoo. If the slime is too oozy, add more toothpaste. Stir the slime well for another minute or so, or until it is uniform in color and texture.
There really is no right or wrong way to make this slime. A large part of it is based simply on your preference.
Don't worry if the slime feels a little too gooey at this point. You still have to freeze it, which will help firm it up.
Freeze the slime for 10 to 60 minutes. Check the slime after 10 minutes. It should feel firm, but not solid like ice. If the slime is too squishy, freeze it for another 50 minutes.
Knead the slime until it softens up again. Take the slime out of the freezer. Roll, squish, and squeeze the slime between your fingers until it becomes soft and squishy again.[2]
The slime won't return to the same texture that it had before you put it into the freezer.
Play with the slime. This slime is very thick, almost like putty. You can squish, squeeze, and stretch it. When you are done playing with it, put it away into a small, plastic container with a lid.
Eventually, the slime will dry out, so throw it away when it starts to get hard.
