Cost: $2
Materials
- Clear glue
- Baking soda
- Food colouring
- Contact lens solution
- Melamine sponge (1/4 of one, cut into small cubes)
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Cut up the "jelly cubes"
- To make the cubes in jelly cube slime you'll need a melamine sponge.
- Cut 1/4 of the sponge into small cubes, about 1cm square. Set aside for now.The other 3/4 of the sponge can be used for cleaning or future batches of slime.
Step 3: Mix the first ingredients
- Add 1/2 cup clear glue to a small bowl.
- Pour in 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- Stir well, until combined.
- Add 4 drops of food colouring in the colour of your choice. (We chose pink.) Stir to combine.
Step 4: Activate the slime
- To activate the slime add 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution.
- Stir until the slime thickens and pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Pick up the slime and stretch it, kneading it and squishing it. It'll be sticky at first, but just keep going.You can add a few more drops of contact solution if it's really sticky, but you don't want it to be overactivated. A bit of stickiness at this point is okay.
Step 5: Add the cubes and let sit
- Add the foam cubes into the slime.
- Fold them into the slime, mixing it with your hands.
- Then place the slime in an airtight container and let it sit overnight.
- Your jelly cube slime is complete!
