Nickelodeon tightly guards the recipe for its famous green slime. However, it is known that the original recipe consisted of applesauce, vanilla pudding, oatmeal, and green food coloring. Don’t wait for Nickelodeon to share its secrets—make this fun slime yourself! You can create edible, kid-safe slime or even glowing-in-the-dark varieties.
Jelly-Based Slime
Step 1. Gather all the necessary ingredients and tools.
To make jelly-based slime, you will need:
- 20-liter bucket;
- 6 large packets of jelly powder;
- 4 kg of flour;
- 250 ml of children's shampoo;
- 6 liters of water;
- green food coloring.
Step 2. Mix jelly, flour, and water in the bucket.
In the 20-liter bucket, combine the jelly powder, flour, and water. This will give you about 11 liters of sticky green slime. To avoid a mess, it’s best to do this in the bucket.
- Open 6 packets of jelly powder and pour them into the bucket.
- Add 2 kg of flour.
- Pour in 4 liters of water.
- Mix thoroughly to avoid lumps.
Step 3. Add the remaining flour and water.
Add the remaining flour and water. Since it’s important to achieve the perfect consistency, take your time and check the texture periodically.
- Stir in the remaining 2 kg of flour.
- Gradually add 2 liters of water while continuing to mix. Occasionally check how the slime flows from the whisk. If it’s too runny, keep mixing. If it flows slowly, it’s ready.
Step 4. Add shampoo and dye.
Pour 250 ml of children's shampoo and a few drops of green food coloring into the bucket. Stir until the slime turns green.
- Add more dye if necessary.

Step 2. Mix the ingredients in a bag.
Simply open the sealable bag and add all the ingredients.

Step 3. Stir before adding dye.
Stir the mixture until it begins to thicken, then add 3-5 drops of green food coloring and mix again.
Step 4. Keep stirring until you have slime.
Do not stop stirring for a few minutes. Check the consistency by scooping with a spoon.
