Materials
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.
- Then add 1-1/2 teaspoons of baking soda. Stir to combine.
- Colour the slime with food colouring. We used a couple drops of fuschia and about 4 drops of pink. Again, stir to combine.
- Now add confetti and/or shaped glitter to the glue mixture. We used pink heart confetti and smaller gold heart glitter.
Step 3: Activate the slime
- Add 2-1/4 teaspoons of contact lens solution to activate the slime.
- Stir the solution in until you can't stir anymore and the slime comes away from the bowl.
- Pick up the slime and mix it with your hands. It will be sticky at first, but should come off your hands after kneading for a minute. Add another few drops of contact solution, if needed.
Step 4: Wait overnight
- Optional: Place the slime in an airtight container overnight. This will allow the bubbles to rise, clearing up the colour of the slime.
- Your Valentine's Day slime is complete!
- Now enjoy making the slime in different colours or with other types of heart add-ins.
