Tips and Recommendations
You have to understand that in as much as Fluffy slimes can be attractive, they can be dangerous at the same time. These things are made from chemicals and materials that are not healthy for human consumption. This is why you have to look out for your kids when they play with these things, to avoid chewing them in your absence.
Finally, you might as well add coloring to your slime to get your preferred color. Also, in most cases, some may want to add scenting agents to enhance the smell. We hope that was useful? Good luck with the process.
