Making perfect slime is a delightful and straightforward process that can be enjoyed by all ages. Here’s a simple guide to help you create your very own stretchy, squishy slime.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of PVA glue (white school glue works best)
• 1 cup of water
• 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
• 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution (must contain boric acid)
• Food colouring (optional)
• Glitter (optional)

Instructions:

1. Combine the Glue and Water: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the cup of PVA glue. Add an equal amount of water and stir well until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

2. Add Bicarbonate of Soda: Next, sprinkle in the bicarbonate of soda and mix thoroughly. This ingredient will give your slime the consistency it needs.

3. Incorporate Colour and Glitter: If you’d like to add some flair, now is the time to mix in a few drops of food colouring and some glitter for a sparkly effect. Stir until the colour is evenly distributed.

4. Activate the Slime: Slowly add the contact lens solution to the mixture. You should start to see the slime come together. Keep stirring until it begins to form a cohesive blob.

5. Knead Your Slime: Once it’s pulled away from the sides of the bowl, take the slime out and knead it with your hands. Be careful, as it might be sticky at first. If it remains overly sticky, add a bit more contact lens solution until you reach the desired consistency.

6. Store Properly: When your slime is perfect – stretchy and not too sticky – store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh for later.

With just a few household ingredients, you’ll have yourself a perfect batch of slime to play with and enjoy. Happy sliming!
