Materials
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Mix together the first ingredients
- Pour 1/2 cup of clear glue into a bowl.
- Add 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda and stir to combine.
- Add a few drops of red food colouring to the bowl. Stir to combine.
- Then add red glitter, enough to cover the top of the mixture. We used fine glitter and more chunky glitter.
Step 3: Activate and knead the slime
- After stirring the glitter in, add 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution to activate the slime.
- Stir the slime until you can't anymore, and it's thick and pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
- Pick up the slime and stretch it with your hands. It will be sticky at first, but as you squeeze it the stickiness should go away. Add a few more drops of contact solution, if needed.
- If you want your slime to clear up, let it sit in an airtight container overnight so the bubbles go away. You can also play with your slime right away if you'd like!
- Repeat, to make green and white slime, so you have all the festive colours represented!
- Your Christmas slime is complete!Have fun with holiday themed charms and store the slime in airtight containers when not playing with it.
