What You’ll Need
  

  • 2/3 Cup White Elmer’s Glue
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • 2-3 Cups Shaving Cream
  • 1.5 tablespoons Contact Lens Solution
  • Liquid Food Coloring

Equipment

  • mixing bowl

Directions
 

  1. Pour the glue into a bowl.
  2. Mix in the water and baking soda.
  3. Mix in the shaving cream. More shaving cream gives fluffier slime; with 3 cups you may need more contact solution.
  4. Stir in food coloring until you like the shade.
  5. Add the contact solution slowly: 1 tablespoon first, knead for 5 minutes, then add the last 1/2 tablespoon. It stays very sticky while you knead; that is normal.
  6. Still sticky: rub baby oil or lotion on your hands, or add more contact solution, a teaspoon at a time. Too much makes the slime hard and less stretchy.

Notes

The contact solution must list boric acid and sodium borate.
Safety: NOT edible. Adult help; borate activator, so best for about age 6+ with supervision and hand washing after. Shaving cream stings eyes. Little kids: use the borax-free or edible slime instead.
