Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Mix the first ingredients
- Pour 1/3 cup of clear glue into a bowl.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.
- Stir well, until the baking soda is mixed into the glue.If there are any clumps, use the back of the spoon to try and break them up.
- Pour black paint into the glue mixture. You can measure about 2 teaspoons into the mixture, or just eyeball it.We recommend adding a bit at a time and adding more until you reach a deep black colour (or whatever shade you're looking for).
- Stir the black paint into the glue mixture until well combined, and then sprinkle the surface with fine silver glitter.
Step 3: Activate the slime
- Once you've mixed the glitter in, add 2 teaspoons of contact lens solution to the bowl.
- Stir well. Squish the slime mixture down and keep stirring until the slime starts to come away from the bowl and you can't stir any more.
- Pick up the slime and begin stretching and kneading it. It will be quite sticky at first, but don't panic! This is normal, and it will get less sticky the more you work it.
- Keep stretching the slime and clean it off your hands and the bowl by sticking the slime to itself.Stop kneading and squishing once the slime doesn't stick to your hands anymore. (You can add a few extra drops of contact solution if you still find it sticky.)
Step 4: Repeat and combine the galaxy slime colours
- Repeat the same recipe to make blue, purple, and pink slimes. We used metallic acrylic paint to colour our other slimes.
- Break off 1/4 of the black slime and stretch it into a line. Set it down.
- Do the same for the other colours of slime and set them down below the black, so each colour is touching.
- Stretch out the slime and fold it over itself.
- Pull the slime out again. Your galaxy slime is now ready to play with.
- As you stretch and swirl the space slime, you'll see spiral galaxies start to form!You can also add star glitter onto the slime to make it extra sparkly.
- Your galaxy slime is complete!
