THE SCIENCE OF BUBBLEGUM SLIME

Slime is made when boron mixes with the polymer chains in the glue, creating strong, but flexible bonds between the molecules.

There are so many fun tweaks you can make to a basic slime recipe, like my kid’s favorite, fluffy slime! Since this slime does contain borax, if you have a sensitivity to it, you may want to try our baking soda slime instead.

DIY ABC Chewed Up Bubblegum Slime Recipe

This recipe came about when we were trying to make our bouncy balls. We thought we had the recipe right, but it turns out, this one wasn’t right for a bouncy ball, but it looked and felt JUST like gum that’s already been chewed. It’s thicker than most slimes, which makes it so much fun for stretching and playing with without the slime running everywhere on you.

What you’ll need to make the chewed up bubble gum slime recipe:

Pink food coloring (this one makes the perfect pink)
White glue
Liquid laundry starch

This slime recipe is super easy and is a great place to start if you’re new to making slimes. This version doesn’t have any water, which means there is almost no way you can mess up the ratios.

Mix 1/2 a cup of white glue with several drops of pink food coloring and stir. When the color is fully mixed, add 1/2 a cup of liquid laundry starch to the mixture.

The slime will start to gel immediately. Keep stirring it until you can’t any more, then let the slime sit for about 5 minutes.

After the time is up, work the slime in your hands until it stretches and is no longer sticky. At this point, you can play with the bubblegum slime as much as you like. The texture of this one makes it feel a great deal like chewed gum.
