How to make slime ?

Ingredients​

1. White school glue (like Elmer’s glue) – 4 ounces (1/2 cup)
2. Baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon
3. Contact lens solution (that contains boric acid) – 1 to 1.5 tablespoons
4. Optional Additions:
   • Food coloring or paint for color
   • Glitter, beads, or foam balls for texture

Tools​

• A mixing bowl
• A spoon or spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions​

1. Pour the Glue into a Bowl:
   
   • Squeeze 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) of white school glue into a mixing bowl.
2. Add Baking Soda:
   
   • Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the glue. This helps firm up the slime.
3. Optional: Add Color and Texture:
   
   • If you want colored slime, add a few drops of food coloring or paint. Stir until the color is evenly distributed.
   • You can also add glitter or other fun items like foam balls at this stage.
4. Add the Contact Lens Solution:
   
   • Slowly add 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of contact lens solution to the mixture while stirring. The slime will begin to form and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
   • Add the contact solution a little at a time and mix well to get the desired consistency.
5. Knead the Slime:
   
   • Once the mixture starts to come together, use your hands to knead the slime. If it’s too sticky, add a few more drops of contact lens solution until it becomes smooth and stretchy.
6. Play and Store:
   
   • Your slime is ready to play with! When not in use, store it in an airtight container to keep it from drying out.

Tips for Success​

• If Slime is Too Sticky: Add a few more drops of contact lens solution and continue kneading until it’s no longer sticky.
• If Slime is Too Hard: Add a bit more glue or water to soften it.
• Alternative Ingredients: If you don’t have contact lens solution, you can use liquid laundry detergent or borax solution instead. However, be careful with these ingredients as they can be harsh on sensitive skin.
