SLIME INGREDIENTS:
• 8-ounce/236ml white school glue
• 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons contact saline solution, more as needed
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• Food colouring and glitter, optional
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SLIME
Add glue and food colouring to bowl. Squeeze the bottle of glue into a bowl. Add your food colouring if desired, and stir until combined. Then mix in baking soda.
Mix in saline solution. Add 1 1/2 Tablespoons saline solution and mix until combined. If it’s too sticky, add 1/2 Tablespoon more solution at a time. The more you add, the thicker it’ll be. The less you add, the slimier it’ll be .
Knead the slime. Using your hands, knead the slime until it holds together. It will be wet and gooey at first, but just keep kneading until it all comes together.
Store slime. Store slime in a container with lid, or in a zip top bag. The slime is best to play with on a place mat.
TIPS FOR MAKING SLIME
•Use plastic bowls and spoons to make clean up easier.
•Make sure to get the colour correct before adding the saline. It’s harder to mix in when it begins to thicken.
•For thicker slime, add more saline solution. For a slimier texture, add less saline.
•Slime is best to play with on a place mat, plastic tablecloth or even a trash bag.
•Can add in extras like glitter, scented oils or even mini styrofoam balls.
• Recipe makes about a cup of slime. Can double or triple based on how many kids there are.
• If you have long hair, make sure to put it into a pony tail. If a little slime gets in your hair, simply rub some coconut oil or olive oil on top and comb it out.
