Materials
- White school glue (safe and easy to find)
- Baking soda (a little goes a long way)
- Contact lens solution (for activating the slime)
- Food coloring (optional for a pop of color)
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula for stirring
Instructions
- Begin by pouring about a cup of white school glue into your mixing bowl. Notice its thick, smooth consistency and the way it glimmers as it slides out.
- Add a teaspoon of baking soda to the glue. Stir gently, feeling the mixture thicken slightly as the two combine.
- At this point, you can add food coloring. Start with just a drop, swirling it gently to see how it distributes. Adjust the color to your liking.
- Gradually add a tablespoon of contact lens solution. Mix slowly, feeling the texture shift from gluey to more rubbery.
- As the mixture begins to form slime, use your hands to knead it. The experience of squishing and stretching the slime is wonderfully satisfying.
- If the slime feels too sticky, add a tiny bit more contact lens solution, kneading again until it reaches the desired stretchiness.
- Once you’re happy with the texture, take a moment to really enjoy how it feels in your hands, savoring the calming effects of your creation.
