Slime is a unique play material composed of a cross-linked polymer. It is classified as a liquid and is typically made by combining polyvinyl alcohol solutions with borate ions in a large mixing container. This is one of the favorite toys of our kids today, it develops creativity and fine motor skills, and you can make your own slime yourself incorporating things that you like. There’s edible slime, glitter slime, scented slime, neon slime, glow in the dark slime and lots of other ideas including even slime favors for kids. Basic play slime recipes include Borax, while making edible slime you should substitute it for gelatin.
