How to Make Slime Making

- 2 bottles of Elmer’s blue glitter glue or 12 ounces of white glue with blue food coloring
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup of water
- 3 tablespoons of contact lens solution
- Extra glitter (optional)
- Under the sea figurines (optional)
Directions:
- Pour both bottles of Elmer’s blue glitter glue into a mixing bowl. If you are using white glue, add a few drops of blue food coloring and mix it well.
- Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the glue and stir until combined.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of water and mix thoroughly.
- While stirring, slowly add 3 tablespoons of contact lens solution. Keep mixing until the slime begins to form.
- Once the slime starts to pull away from the bowl, take it out and knead it with your hands. If it feels too sticky, add a little more contact lens solution until you reach your desired texture.

How to Serve Slime Making
You can serve slime in small containers or bowls. Let everyone have their own little portion to play with. It’s a great activity for parties, playdates, or just a fun afternoon at home. You can also suggest themed games like an ocean-themed treasure hunt!
How to Store Slime Making
To store your slime, place it in an airtight container. Make sure the container is sealed tightly to keep the slime fresh. If stored properly, it can last for several weeks!
Tips to Make Slime Making
- Mix the baking soda thoroughly for the best consistency.
- Add food coloring slowly to ensure you get the perfect shade.
- Kneading the slime with hands helps improve its texture.
- If the slime is too runny, add a little more contact lens solution.
Variation
If you want to change things up, you can try using different colors or themes. For example, instead of blue, you could use green glitter glue for a monster slime, or mix in foam balls for an extra texture!
FAQs
1. Can I use regular glue instead of glitter glue?
Yes, you can use regular white glue and add blue food coloring to create similar effects.
2. What can I use if I don’t have contact lens solution?
If you don’t have contact lens solution, you can use liquid laundry detergent as a substitute.
3. How do I clean up the mess after making slime?
To clean up, use warm soapy water to wash sticky residue from surfaces. If slime gets stuck in carpet, let it dry and gently pull it out.
