How To Make Slime Without Activator in South Africa

Introduction

Slime has become a popular DIY project for kids and adults alike. While most slime recipes call for an activator such as borax or contact lens solution, there are ways to make slime without activator. In South Africa, where some activators may be harder to find or not suitable for certain individuals, making slime without activator is a great alternative.

Ingredients for Slime Without Activator

What You Will Need:

  • 1 cup of white school glue
  • 1 tablespoon of baking soda
  • Food coloring
  • 1 tablespoon of saline solution

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Mix Glue and Baking Soda

In a bowl, pour the white school glue and add the baking soda. Mix well until the baking soda is fully incorporated into the glue.

2. Add Food Coloring

Add a few drops of your desired food coloring to the glue mixture. Stir well until the color is evenly distributed.
