How to make slam clay safely
You can absolutely make slam clay with your children at home with extremely simple and easy-to-find ingredients. Let's explore the methods below.
Make slime with Playdoh
If you have an old box of Playdoh at home that you no longer use, try this method right away. You need to prepare: 1 box of Playdoh, water, shaving foam, tongue cleaner solution for babies.
First, put Playdoh in a bowl and slowly add water, 1:1 ratio. After stirring by hand, use a sieve to filter out the residue. Continue adding shaving foam and stirring well. At this step, you can add a little gel to make the slam clay more chewy. Finally, add the tongue scraping solution and stir until the slime reaches the desired adhesion, so we're done.
Make slam clay from shampoo and toothpaste
Ingredient:

- 1 bottle of shampoo (choose a thick shampoo, one that is white or opaque will make it easier to mix colors)

- Food coloring
- Wooden stick for stirring
Making
Step 1: Pour about 2 tablespoons of shampoo into a bowl

Step 4: Use a wooden stick to continuously stir the mixture for 1 minute. You can also replace the wooden stick with a toothpick or any other object, but do not stir with your hands.
Step 5: Check the texture of the slime. If the clay is too hard, add more shampoo and continue stirring. Conversely, if the clay is too mushy, add more toothpaste.
