slime care 101
keep your jar squishy, stretchy, and happy. zuzu's official guide to caring for your slime 💌
🌸 storing your slime
seal the lid tight after every play session — air is slime's enemy. keep it somewhere cool and shaded, away from windows and radiators. drawers, shelves, the inside of your closet — all good. don't refrigerate. don't leave in a hot car.
🫧 wash your hands first
clean, dry hands keep your slime alive longest. lotions, food residue, and dirt all break it down. a quick rinse before you play and your jar will thank you.
✨ slime feels stiff?
add 1–2 drops of warm water and knead for a minute. still tough? a tiny pump of lotion works too. work it in slowly — too much and it goes the other way (sticky). patience is the trick.
🧪 slime feels sticky?
sprinkle a tiny pinch of activator (you can find boric-acid solution online or at a craft store) and knead. start small — a couple drops at a time. stickiness usually means heat or over-played, both fixable.
🐰 safety stuff
slime is for play, not eating. keep it away from kiddos under 3 (small parts), pets, hair, carpet, fabric, and anything you love (it gets stuck and you cry). wash hands after every session.
💎 about the charms + add-ins
the charms, fimos, glitter, and other goodies are part of the slime — they live in the jar and travel with it. small parts are not edible and not for very young children. supervise with kids under 8.
