A recycled, clean sour cream container or a deli container works great! When your slime has been made and your kids are all played out put it way in an airtight container. If the mess worries work on a predefined surface- within the bowl you mixed in, on a plastic tablecloth, a cookie sheet, or one of these silicone mess mats like you see in my pics! This is always rolled up in our craft cabinet for any messy activities! My kitchen has been a non stop slime shop for the past three years or so and it still entertains me! One it’s just right it is a beautiful thing to watch it stretch and swirl and bubble. Adding that activator slowly is key! Don’t start mixing with hands (clean hands) until the activator has done it’s job and the slime begins to ball up. Too much activator and the slime will stop being as stretchy and begin to be more solid and tear into pieces. When the right amount of activator has been added the slime will stop being sticky.
