Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Glue Base

  1. Pour Glue: In a mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of clear PVA glue.
  2. Add Baking Soda: Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of baking soda. This will help the slime firm up.

Mix and Activate

  1. Combine: Stir the mixture thoroughly until the baking soda is fully dissolved in the glue.
  2. Add Contact Solution: Gradually mix in 1/2 cup of contact lens solution. Stir continuously. You’ll notice the mixture starts to come together.

Knead the Slime

  1. Test Consistency: Once it starts pulling away from the bowl, use your hands to knead the slime.
  2. Adjust Texture: If it’s too sticky, add a little more contact solution until it reaches your desired consistency.

Personalize Your Slime

  1. Color or Sparkle: If desired, add a few drops of food coloring or some glitter, then knead again until evenly distributed.

Store Your Creation

  1. Keep It Fresh: Transfer the slime to an airtight container to maintain its clarity and texture.

Tips & Variations

  • Add-in Options: Try using scented oils or essential oils for a sensory twist.
  • Glow-in-the-Dark: Use glow powder to create a unique nighttime slime experience.
  • Beads and Foam: Add foam balls or beads for a fun, crunchy texture.
  • Different Adhesives: Experiment with different types of clear glue for varying results.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use regular white glue instead of clear glue?
Yes, but it won’t give you that crystal clear effect and will be more opaque.

2. My slime is too sticky; what do I do?
Add more contact lens solution gradually until the slime reaches your desired texture.

3. How long does crystal clear slime last?
When stored in an airtight container, it can last for several weeks.

4. Can I use other types of activators?
Yes, you can use borax solution or liquid starch, but results may vary.

Serving Suggestions or Pairings

  • Pair with a refreshing fruit lemonade for a fun, summer activity.
  • Serve with crunchy snacks like pretzels for a playful mix of textures.
  • Enjoy alongside a DIY sensory bin for added excitement.
