It’s quite easy to do and it has a good consistency that is not too icky, sticky, or tough. Just glue and laundry detergent slime is just a matter of mixing slowly until you get the consistency you desire.

She was able to create this all on her own (with me supervising on the side) as she added one tablespoon of detergent at a time and watched as it changed consistencies.

It was fun for her to experiment and see things change as the two ingredients were combined to make something she loved, slime! 😉

How do you make Slime with Laundry Detergent

There is a printable directions card at the bottom of this post you can refer to, here is just a quick step by step so you can see how it’s done;

1. Add some white glue to a bowl
2. Stir in some liquid Tide laundry detergent at a time stirring in between until it thickens (other brands may not work)
3. (She added and stirred probably 8 different times until at the touch it didn’t immediately stick to her finger)
4. Once it is thicker and not sticking to sides of the bowl pick it up and knead it
5. The more you knead it the better consistency / stiffer it becomes
6. Done!

Store in an plastic containers to stay pliable for longer this way. You could use sandwich bags too if you make sure there is no air present when you zip them closed. Air is the enemy to drying out.

I hope we answered your question of how to make slime with detergent. It was a fun afternoon activity that didn’t cost very much to make and was easy for her to do herself as I watched. She started with a small batch to see if it would work and then her sister’s followed suit with a batch of their own.

She then went on to experiment with other ingredients which she is working on now and we will share if those experiments are successful. lol

Once you’re done and stored it may take a little kneading to regain the same consistency if it has sit for a day or two but it doesn’t take much and it is back to being “new”.

Of course you will need your children to wash their hands after making and/or playing with this laundry detergent slime and especially before eating and after playing with this and adult supervision is always required since you are using detergent to make this.
