Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Mix the first ingredients
- Pour 1/2 cup of clear glue into a bowl.
- Add 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda to the glue.
- Stir well, combining until the baking soda is mostly dissolved. Use the back of the spoon to break up any clumps.
- Pour in 1 Tablespoon of water and stir gently, combining into the glue mixture.
- Add about 5 drops of food colouring and stir until the colour is well combined.We used purple food colouring to make "grape jelly", but you can add the colour of your choice.
- Then add 1-1/2 teaspoons of instant snow powder. Again, stir well.You'll still see specks of the snow at this point -- that's fine.
Step 3: Activate the slime
- Finally, pour in 2-1/2 teaspoons of contact lens solution.
- Stir well. The slime will thicken quite a bit and begin to pull away from the bowl, but will still be very sticky at this point.
Step 4: Let the slime sit overnight
- Scoop the slime into a plastic or glass container with a lid.
- Place the lid on the container and allow the slime to sit overnight.
Step 5: Enjoy your jelly slime
- The next day, remove the slime from the container and knead/stretch it for a minute. If the slime is still a bit sticky, add a few drops of contact solution.As you play with your jelly slime it'll become less sticky.
- Your jelly slime is complete!
