Slime is fun for all ages! Whether you’re a child or an adult, slime offers a sensory-rich experience that provides stress relief and entertainment. For children, it can help improve hand dexterity and coordination, while adults often enjoy slime as a fun and relaxing way to de-stress and ease anxiety. No matter your age, slime offers endless fun for everyone!

Absolutely not! Slime is not food and should never be eaten. While our products may look visually appealing and colorful, they are designed to provide a hands-on play experience, not for consumption. Always ensure children do not put slime in their mouths.

Slime can become sticky, especially in hot weather or after being stored for a while, but this can easily be fixed. Use our Activator Pen (Slime Fixer) to spray the slime evenly, then stir until the liquid is fully mixed in. Test the slime, and if it’s still sticky, repeat the process until the desired texture is reached! Be cautious not to use too much Activator, as it could make the slime too stiff.

The Activator Pen (Slime Fixer Pen) is a simple solution made of borax and water, designed to reduce slime’s stickiness. Just spray the activator on the slime and stir until the slime reaches the desired consistency. If it's still sticky, repeat the process.

Activator Pens are the perfect tool for keeping your slime in top shape, restoring smoothness and elasticity while preventing it from being too gooey or stiff.

To keep your slime in perfect condition, here are some simple storage tips:

  • Seal it tightly: After use, store your slime in a sealed container or plastic bag to prevent exposure to air and avoid drying out.
  • Avoid heat and direct sunlight: Don’t store slime in hot environments or expose it to sunlight, as this can make it melt or harden.
  • Keep it dry: Excess moisture can affect the texture of the slime, so make sure it’s stored in a dry environment to preserve its quality.

If slime accidentally gets on clothes, act quickly to prevent staining:

  • Clean it up immediately: Wipe off slime with a wet cloth or rinse with warm water. For tougher slime, gently scrape off excess and wash with warm water.
  • Prevent staining: If your slime contains colorants or glitter, be cautious, as certain ingredients may leave stains. Always avoid contact with clothes when using colored or glittery slimes.

If your slime feels hard or rubbery, don’t worry—this is a common issue! Here’s how to fix it:

  • Add lotion: A few pumps of hand lotion can soften hardened slime instantly. Knead it in gradually.
  • Use warm water: Soak your slime in warm water for a few minutes, then knead until it softens.
  • Mix in baby oil: Adding a few drops of baby oil can make your slime more elastic and soft.
  • Overactivated slime becomes stiff and breaks apart easily. Here's how to reverse it:
  • Add glue: Mix in a small amount of PVA glue to balance out the excess activator.
  • Lotion therapy: Massage some lotion into the slime to make it softer and stretchier.
  • Let it rest: Leave the slime in an airtight container for 1-2 days—it often softens over time.

If your slime has dried out, revive it using these methods:

  • Add water: Gradually add warm water while kneading the slime to restore its moisture.
  • Use glycerin: Glycerin can rehydrate slime quickly, making it soft and pliable.
  • Mix in shaving cream: For fluffy slimes, shaving cream works wonders in restoring its light, airy texture.

Watery or runny slime is usually underactivated. Here’s how to thicken it:

  • Add more activator: Slowly add your chosen activator until the slime reaches your desired consistency.
  • Mix in glue: If it’s still too watery, adding more glue will help balance the texture.
  • Use baking soda: A pinch of baking soda can thicken runny slime effectively.

Proper storage is key to maintaining your slime:

  • Use airtight containers: Always store slime in an airtight container to prevent drying.
  • Keep it cool: Store slime in a cool, dry place to avoid melting or sticking.
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Sunlight can cause slime to lose its texture and color.

If your slime has lost its elasticity, these tips will help:

  • Add aloe vera gel: Aloe vera gel is a gentle softening agent for slime.
  • Massage with hand cream: Hand cream is an easy way to restore flexibility and stretch.
  • Add glycerin: A few drops of glycerin can make your slime stretchy and smooth again.
