  • To add a fruit scent to your slime, shake in 5 to 10 drops of essential oil or fragrance oil. We used sweet orange, but any fruit scent will do!

Step 3: Activate the slime

  • To activate the slime, add 2 teaspoons of contact lens solution to the glue mixture.

  • Stir to combine, stirring until you can't anymore. Use the spoon to press the slime down, incorporating as much activator as you can.

  • Then pick up the slime and knead and stretch it. It will be sticky at first, but this will go away as you work with it.
    If it's still sticky, add more contact solution, adding only a few drops at a time.

  • Optional: Place the slime in an airtight container and wait overnight. This will allow the bubbles to rise and the slime to become more clear.

  • Your fruit slime is complete!
