Materials

  • 3/4 Cup Elmer’s white school glue 

  • 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda

  • 1/4 cup water

  • Food colouring (optional)

  • 3 cups shaving cream (the foam type)

  • 2 tbsp contact lens solution

Make sure you use a contact lens solution that contains Boric Acid and Sodium Borate. Boric Acid is the activator. There are quite a few options available, so make sure you read the ingredient lists before you buy.

Instructions

  1. Add the white glue, bicarb soda and water to a large mixing bowl

  2. Add a few drops of food colouring and stir well. 

  3. Next you can add the shaving cream. 

  4. Stir well until everything is combined. The mixture should be smooth, puffy and the colour should be consistent. It looks a little bit like whipped cream at this point.

  5. Add the contact lens solution and stir

  6. As you stir, it will start firming up and getting stringy. Keep stirring until it has a good slime consistency, and it stops sticking to the side of the bowl.

  7. If it gets too hard to mix with a spoon, use your hands to knead the mixture.

  8. If the slime is still sticking to your hands, add a little bit more contact lens solution into the mixture.

Your fluffy slime is complete - enjoy!
