As I mentioned over on the BirminghamMommy.com Facebook page, my kids are completely obsessed with slime and experimenting on ways to make slime with random… like really random household materials. I’ve been finding abandoned cups, bowls and containers all over the house for a week. We even have some in the fridge and freezer..
So I did what every good Mom does, I went to the store and loaded up on supplies that are known for making successful batches of slime.. Here are a few of the recipes we’ve had luck with.
Easy Slime Recipe:
Supplies Needed:
1/2 Tbsp of Baking Soda
1 Tbsp of Contact lens solution
4 fl oz white school glue
Food coloring of your choice
What you’ll do:
Mix glue and baking soda together, then add food coloring. Add contact solution until mixture no longer sticks to the bowl. Take out and knead with hands when mixture becomes too tough to mix. *My kids like adding glitter to everything they make, but you can easily make glitter slime with glitter glue.. See next recipe.
Glitter Slime
1/2 Tbsp of Baking Soda
1 Tbsp of Contact lens solution
5 fl oz of clear school glue
.356 fl oz glitter glue
Pour clear glue into a bowl and add baking soda, add your glitter glue, mix. Add contact lens solution, and mix until slime forms. Take out and knead with hands when mixture becomes too tough to mix. *Note: I like this option because there’s no messy food coloring or loose glitter.
Non Sticky Slime:
Supplies Needed:
1/2 cup of school glue
1/2 tsp of baking soda
2-3 drops of food coloring of choice
1-2 tbsp of contact solution
2-3 drops of baby oil
Glitter *optional
What you’ll do:
Mix glue and baking soda together then add food coloring, add contact solution until mixture no longer sticks to the bowl, once all mixed together, add baby oil to reduce stickiness. If you choose to add glitter, you can do that once mix is complete.
