Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue with 1 cup of water. Mix thoroughly using a spoon until well blended.
  • Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ensuring it’s fully dissolved. This will give your slime its stretchy consistency.
  • Incorporate 2 tablespoons of glow-in-the-dark powder. If you want to add color, include a few drops of food coloring and mix until you achieve your desired shade.
  • Slowly add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution while stirring. Mix until the slime pulls away from the bowl and reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Knead the slime with your hands for a few minutes to improve its texture.
  • Store your slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

Notes

Experiment with swirling different food colors for a marble effect. Add essential oils for a fun scent. For thicker slime, reduce water amount.
