Instructions

Step 1: Find what you need

Gather your supplies and materials.

Step 2: Mix the main ingredients

Pour 1/2 cup of white glue into a bowl.
Then add 1/3 cup of water.
Carefully stir or whisk together until combined.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Stir and remove any lumps.
Then add 1 Tablespoon of instant snow. Stir to combine. The snow will start to absorb the moisture and make the mixture thick and lumpy -- that's okay!
Optional: Add some iridescent fake snow (or glitter) to make your snow slime a bit sparkly. Add enough to cover the top of the mixture.

Step 3: Activate the slime

Add 1 Tablespoon of contact lens solution into the bowl.
Stir until you can't stir any more. The mixture will start out sticky, but as it thickens you'll see it come away from the sides of the bowl.
Pick up the slime and knead it with your hands, squishing it and pulling it apart. It will still be sticky, but not enough that it will stick too badly.

Step 4: Wait overnight

Set the slime in an airtight container and wait overnight. This allows time for the instant snow to absorb and grow more.
Your snow slime is complete! It might be a bit sticky when you first pick it up, but after kneading it for a minute it'll be puffy and thick, but still stretchy.
Have fun playing with little snowmen and tree decorations.
