How to Make Slime (Ninja Turtle Ooze)

Step 1: Watch the Video!

Hey, look at this! There's a broken canister of mutant ooze leaking down into the sewers! But don't worry because this sticky slime is non-toxic, and it's so easy to make, a 3 year old can do it!

Watch this video to see how!

Will the glow stick explode if you put it in the microwave to long

[thirsty1258]

Thx for this! I have tried it twice and while it comes out ok its not nearly as nice as yours. Mine tends to be more watery in the bowl and then more solid once out of the water. It becomes more like a jello feel but my son still loves it. Any ideas?

[The King of Random]

Thanks! You could try adding more Borax until the texture is the way you want it?

dude. that was one of the most awesome instructables ever! partly because its so simple and partly I LOVE slime. U should sell this because personally, its 3x better than any other slime I have ever had

[The King of Random]

I'm glad you liked it and had such great success! Thanks for your comment!

too cold this afternoon to go out...make slime/ooze works instead! Used Neon food coloring, the pink came out a little too red for my daughter, but next week she wants to make purple.

Hey, that looks really great! Keeping in those air tight containers is a good idea. I've had mine for over 8 months and it's still as good as new .. only all the air bubbles are gone.

Hi, King of Random. My brother and I just made your slime and it's awesome!

[The King of Random]

That looks pretty awesome!!! If you make a little video of it, I'd like you to add it to my video as a video response on YouTube. :) Thanks for your message!

[KneXtreme]

Your welcome. When I get time this weekend I'll upload a video.

[The King of Random]

Thank you!

How long is the slime good for? Can you stick it in a plastic container and take it out a few days later to play with? Great instructional.

[The King of Random]

Yes. I've had mine in an air tight plastic container for over 6 months and over time the air bubbles all settled out and it became even more smooth and slimy. I took it out and played with it for about 10 minutes and it returned to exactly the way it was when I first made it. Thanks for asking!

I like the clear glue effect and it works great with the glow sticks. But I thing white glue would give more of a mucus slime effect. :)

[crios42]

If you are looking for a mucus/slime effect, white is the way to go. It was much more gooey, I'm not sure the white glue coalesced as much as the clear glue. Our kids much preferred the clear glue for it's play-doh like consistency.

[The King of Random]

I think you're right :) Yuck! :D

[pocuso]

oh almost forgot can any type of borax work? and thanks for posting the slime vid it is seriously sticky!

[The King of Random]

As far as I know, borax is borax. It's a brand name and I don't know of any other. Let me know if that's not correct.

Thanks!

[pocuso]

hey can i put any food coloring? or only green and yellow because i was thinking about putting purple or orange.

[The King of Random]

Your imagination is the limit! Have fun with purple or orange!

[natedog1123]

hi there i really like this project and would like to make the ninja turtle ooze but sadly i do not have any borax is there any other possible things you can use? thx!

[The King of Random]

Do you have access to liquid starch? I've heard that works?

[Honda Enoch]

We home school our kids, I used this project to teach my son about measurements. He loved it and I was glad it turned out well. :)

[The King of Random]

That's perfect! Thanks for following up on your project success, and congratulations!

[abys10383]

This is sooo awesome I am a huge fan of the teenage mutant ninja turtles so this is awesome for me, thank you so much for posting this.

[The King of Random]

You're welcome, and thanks so much for your comment letting me know! :D

[gandkbenson]

This was awesome. Kids went crazy over it! Thanks for this.!

[The King of Random]

You're welcome, and thanks for your comment letting me know you tried it!!

[agis68]

I don 't like slime (I have problem with colloids) but i like the box u used.....where u get the black cups?

[The King of Random]

Thanks. The black caps I got from Home Depot. I believe they were 2" clean-out adaptors and 2" plugs. I'm curious, you say you have a problem with colloids. Does that mean you don't drink milk?

[agis68]

Well yes i cant digest milk (lactoze syndrome) but when i say the above means something like i hate the slimes (and bugs too). Make me vomiting!!!!

[The King of Random]

I get it. Kind of creepy stuff huh? :)

[Everfalling]

you know the objects that glow in the dark after being exposed to sunlight? I wonder if you can buy that glowing stuff separate and add it to this mix so that it's always glowing so long as you stored it in the light.

[The King of Random]

Cool idea! Yes, I've read that Zinc Sulfide and Strontium Aluminate are the phosphors that will glow in the dark. If you try it, please let me know the results? :)

[Dusk Shadows]

OMG!!! i remeber something like this when i was 6 that came with a little ninja turtle cause i loved ninja turtles SOO MUCH! i even had a cake of one of them that was my favorite cake in the world

[The King of Random]

Awesome! Thanks for your comment, and the trip down memory lane :) I remember something like this as a kid called the slime pit :)

[Dusk Shadows]

I also had a Tar Pit thing that had a little Dinosour in it but it got on my roof (don't tell anyone) but i got it off that also happened with a red thing so it looked like there was a blood patch on my roof and i woke up (i was 5-6) and i screamed! i was so scared then i remebered and settled down

[agis68]

i imagine it with a led inside to glow it!!!!

[The King of Random]

Definitely!

[thematthatter]

how washable is it? i am tempted to make a batch but only if i can clean it real well.
