![]() However, with young kids, I like to err on the side of caution, which is why we make so many taste-safe and easy slime without borax.īe sure to check out the demo video in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post! Why I love this edible silly putty recipe: ![]() We’ve made plenty of awesome slime recipes with contact lens solution and liquid starch as the activator, with no adverse effects. If you see contact lens solution, laundry detergent, or liquid starch listed in the ingredients of a slime recipe - those are not truly borax-free slime recipes. ![]() Many so-called “borax-free slime recipes” on the internet actually contain a form of boric acid - which is essentially the same thing. The good news is that you can make an amazing slime recipe without borax! Actually we’ve made a LOT of homemade slime without borax! Like this one! FYI…īorax free slime does not necessarily mean the same thing as non-toxic slime. However, like I mentioned above, it may not be the best choice for young children or those with sensitive skin.

Because obviously she wasn’t going to be happy just watching her older sister play with slime! She wanted to play too! Why Jello? Since my youngest daughter was only two years old at the time and still liked to stick everything in her mouth, I wanted to find a safer alternative. When the latest slime craze hit a few years ago, most of the new recipes I found were made with glue, borax, liquid starch, etc. Growing up, I loved playing with slime, like Nickelodeon Gak and homemade white glue slime! Though in my day, our options were a bit more limited because we didn’t have the internet with thousands of different recipes to choose from.
