To make easy slime at home, you can follow this simple 3-ingredient recipe:
Ingredients
- 8 ounces (about one bottle) of white school glue (like Elmer’s)
- 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of contact lens saline solution (must contain boric acid)
- Optional: food coloring for color
Instructions
- Mix glue and food coloring: Pour the glue into a bowl and add a few drops of food coloring if you want colored slime. Stir well to combine.
- Add baking soda: Stir in the baking soda thoroughly.
- Add saline solution: Add 1.5 tablespoons of contact lens solution and mix. The slime will start to form. If it’s too sticky, add more saline solution a little at a time until the slime reaches your desired consistency.
- Knead the slime: Use your hands to knead the slime until it is no longer sticky and holds together well.
- Store properly: Keep the slime in an airtight container or zip-top bag to keep it fresh.
This method makes slime that is stretchy and fun to play with, and it takes about 10 minutes to make
