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 of baking soda. Stir until it's well dissolved in the glue.
- To colour the slime, add about 1/8 teaspoon gold mica powder.
- Then add jumbo gold glitter into the glue mixture. These pieces will represent gold coins!
Step 3: Activate the slime
- To activate the slime add 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution.
- Stir well, until the slime comes away from the bowl and you can't stir anymore.
- Then pick up the slime and stretch and knead it with your hands. It might be sticky at first, but will pull away from your hands as you work it.Add a few more drops of contact solution at a time, if needed.
Step 4: Wait overnight (optional)
- Optional: Leave your slime to sit overnight in an airtight container. This will release air bubbles in the slime and allow the colour to darken into a shiny, pearlescent gold.
- Your pot of gold slime is complete!
- Place your gold slime in a leprechaun pot if you have one (or even a repurposed Halloween cauldron!) for some fun sensory play.
- You'll definitely be able to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow with this easy slime recipe!
