Preparation Steps

  • Start by pouring 1 cup of clear glue into a large mixing bowl. This will form the base of your slime.
  • Add 1 to 2 cups of shaving cream to the bowl and stir gently until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and mix well.
  • If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and mix until you reach an even tone.
  • Pour in a generous amount of glitter and mix slowly to incorporate.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution and mix thoroughly until the slime begins to pull away from the bowl.
  • Knead the slime for 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust consistency with additional contact solution or a splash of warm water if needed.

Notes

Store slime in an airtight container. Avoid direct sunlight and high heat. Slime lasts 5 to 7 days. Supervise children under 6 during play, wash hands before and after, and do not eat the slime.
