how to make easy slime
Quick Scoop
Here’s an easy slime recipe: mix white school glue with a little baking soda, then add saline solution slowly until it turns stretchy and no longer sticky. For color or sparkle, add a few drops of food coloring or glitter before the activator goes in.
Simple Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white school glue.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
- 3 tablespoons saline/contact lens solution that contains boric acid.
- Optional: food coloring, glitter, or confetti.
Easy Steps
- Pour the glue into a bowl.
- Stir in the baking soda.
- Add a few drops of color if you want it.
- Pour in the saline solution a little at a time, stirring as you go.
- Knead with your hands until the slime feels stretchy and smooth.
Tips
- Add the saline solution slowly so you do not overdo it and make the slime rubbery.
- If it is still sticky, knead it a bit longer or add a tiny bit more solution.
- Store it in an airtight container when you are done.
Safety Note
Keep slime away from eyes and mouths, and only use ingredients you are not sensitive to.
TL;DR: Glue + baking soda + saline solution = easy slime, and the key is to add the activator slowly until the texture feels right.
