Materials

- Baking soda
- Food colouring (navy and blue)
- Fine glitter (blue and iridescent white)
- Contact lens solution
Instructions
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Combine the first ingredients
- Pour 1/2 cup of clear glue into a bowl.
- Add 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda.
- Stir to mix the ingredients together well.
- Add food colouring to achieve your desired colour. (We used 3 drops of navy and 1 drop of blue).Stir well and add more food colouring, if needed.
- Add in your preferred glitter. We used fine blue glitter and fine iridescent white glitter.
Step 3: Activate the slime
- Stir to mix in the glitter, then activate the slime by adding 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution.
- Stir the mixture until you can’t anymore and it starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Press the mixture down to incorporate all the contact lens solution.
Step 4: Work the slime in your hands
- Pick up the slime out of the bowl and work it in your hands – stretching, kneading, and rolling. It’ll be sticky at first, but don’t panic! Continue working it and using the slime to clean itself off your hands.
- Continue until the slime no longer sticks to your hands. You can add a couple more drops of contact lens solution if it’s still a bit too sticky.
- Your ocean slime is complete!
- Now have fun playing with it, using little ocean charms, sea animal toys, or plastic coral!
