100ml PVA white glue (children’s craft glue or CE marked glue)

HOW TO MAKE SLIME 

materials needed

½ tsp bicarbonate of soda

gel food coloring

1 tsp contact lens cleaning solution

glitter (optional)

How to make:

1. Squeeze the glue into a mixing bowl (look for a bottle in a 100ml size if possible so you won’t have to measure it out).

2. Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix well.

3. Add a drop or two of your chosen gel food coloring. Less coloring gives a pastel color; the more you add, the brighter the color.

4. Mix until well incorporated.

5. Add the contact lens solution and mix. The slime will begin to form, going stringy before coming away clean from the bowl into a ball.

6. Once it has formed, take it out and knead it with your hands. It will be sticky at first but after about 30 seconds you’ll have a smooth and pliable ball.

7. Add glitter at this point, if desired, and work in with your hands.

8. Store in a pot with a lid.
