Ingredients
- Dish soap: About 1 tablespoon
- Elmer’s white glue: ½ cup
- Baking soda: Start with 1 cup, then add more as needed
- Gel food coloring: Your preferred color
- Water: 2–3 tablespoons
Instructions
- Measure ½ cup of Elmer’s white glue into a bowl.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of dish soap and stir until combined.
- Pour in 2–3 tablespoons of water and stir again. The mixture will begin to foam.
- Once the mixture is foamy, add your favorite gel food coloring. Start with a small amount and mix it through.
- Add 1 cup of baking soda and mix thoroughly. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as you stir.
- If the slime still sticks to your fingers, add more baking soda a little at a time, stirring well after each addition.
- If you accidentally add too much baking soda, mix in a little more dish soap to loosen the slime.
