Step 3: Activate the slime

  • Add 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution to the bowl.

  • Stir well, until all the contact solution is combined and the mixture pulls away from the bowl.

  • Now pick up the slime and knead it with your hands. It'll be a bit sticky at first, but as you stretch it, this will go away.
    Add a few more drops of contact solution, if necessary.

  • Now place the slime in an airtight container and wait overnight. This allows the slime to clear up.
    You don't have to wait, but the slime will look better the next day.

Step 4: Make a monster jar (optional)

  • To create a home for your monster slime you'll need a small jar, googly eye(s), and craft foam.

  • Cut teeth or other facial features from the craft foam. Use tacky glue to attach these and the googly eye to the side of the jar.

Step 5: Enjoy your monster slime

  • Your monster slime is complete!
    You don't need a special jar to have fun with your monster slime. Simply add the face to the slime itself and watch the monster's expression stretch as you play with it.

  • Or store your monster slime in the jar, and make some colourful monster friends to go along with it!
