Glitter & Hearts Valentine’s Day Slime

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Mixing Spoon
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Materials

  • ½ cup Elmer's clear glue
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1-2 tbsp contact lens solution
  • Food coloring optional
  • Heart Shaped Confetti
  • Fine or Chunky Glitter optional

Instructions

  • Mix ½ tsp baking soda into ½ cup warm water. Stir until fully dissolved, then let cool slightly.
  • Pour ½ cup of clear glue into a mixing bowl.
  • Slowly stir the baking soda and water mixture into the glue.
  • Add a few drops of food coloring (optional) and mix well. Add glitter, confetti, beads, or any other trinkets of you want in the slime.
  • Slowly stir in your contact lens solution (start with about 1 tablespoon). You’ll notice the mixture firm up and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Knead the slime with hands until stretchy. If it’s too sticky, keep adding tiny amounts of contact solution until it reaches the desired consistency.

Notes

Check the label of your contact lens solution to ensure it contains boric acid or sodium borate. This is the key ingredient that activates the slime.
