DIY To Make a Slime

Materials:

• 1 bottle of white school glue (4 ounces)

• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

• 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution 

• Food coloring (optional)

• Mixing bowl

• Spoon or spatula

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Workspace:

   • Cover your work area with a plastic tablecloth or newspaper to protect surfaces from any spills.

   • Gather all your materials and have them ready at your workspace.

2. Mix the Glue and Baking Soda:

   • Pour the entire bottle of white glue into the mixing bowl.

   • Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the glue. This will help to firm up the slime.

   • Stir the mixture thoroughly until the baking soda is fully dissolved in the glue.

3. Add Food Coloring (Optional):

   • If you want to add color to your slime, this is the time to do it.

   • Add a few drops of food coloring to the glue and baking soda mixture.

   • Stir well until the color is evenly distributed. You can add more drops to achieve the desired color intensity. 

4. Add the Contact Lens Solution:

   • Slowly add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution to the mixture. This will help the slime start to form and become less sticky.

   • Stir the mixture continuously as you add the contact lens solution. You will notice the slime starting to pull away from the sides of the bowl and begin to form.

5. Knead the Slime:

   • Once the slime has formed in the bowl, take it out and start kneading it with your hands.

   • If the slime is too sticky, add a few more drops of contact lens solution and continue kneading until it reaches the desired consistency.

   • Knead the slime for about 5 minutes until it becomes stretchy and smooth.

6. Play with Your Slime:

Your slime is now ready to play with! Stretch it, squish it, and enjoy the satisfying texture.

Remember to always wash your hands before and after playing with the slime.

7. Store Your Slime:

Store the slime in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag when not in use. This will keep it from drying out and allow you to enjoy it for several days.

Safety Tips:

• Always supervise children while making and playing with slime.

• Ensure children do not ingest the slime or put it near their eyes.

Enjoy your DIY slime-making adventure!
