Materials
- 1 cup white school glue
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon contact lens solution
- Neon or glow-in-the-dark paint (optional)
- Glitter (optional for extra sparkle)
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Glue and Water
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue with 1 cup of warm water. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
Step 2: Add Baking Soda
Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture. This will help give the slime its stretchy consistency.
Step 3: Incorporate the Glow
If you want a glowing effect, add a few squirts of neon or glow-in-the-dark paint and mix thoroughly. This will give your slime its spooky glow.
Step 4: Activate the Slime
Slowly add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution to the mixture while stirring. You’ll notice the slime begin to form as it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
Step 5: Knead the Slime
Once the slime begins to clump, take it out of the bowl and knead it with your hands. This should take a few minutes until it reaches a smooth, elastic consistency.
Step 6: Add Glitter (Optional)
For a sparkly twist, you can add a pinch of glitter during the kneading process. Continue to knead until fully incorporated.
Tips & Variations
- Color Choices: Experiment with different paint colors for various effects.
- Scented Slime: Add a few drops of essential oil for a pleasant aroma, especially fun for themed parties.
- Thicker Slime: For a thicker texture, reduce the amount of water slightly or add more baking soda.
- Themed Add-Ins: Include plastic spider figures or other Halloween-themed accessories for an extra fright!
