how to make slime

To make basic homemade slime, you typically need the following ingredients and steps: Ingredients:

• White school glue (about 8 ounces)
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1½ to 2 tablespoons contact saline solution (slime activator)
• Optional: food coloring, glitter, scented oils, or mini styrofoam balls for customization

Steps:

1. Pour the glue into a bowl. If using, add food coloring and mix well.
2. Stir in the baking soda until combined.
3. Add 1½ tablespoons of the saline solution and mix. If the slime is too sticky, add more saline solution a little at a time until it reaches the desired thickness or sliminess.
4. Knead the slime with your hands until it becomes less sticky and holds together as a stretchy, smooth slime.
5. Store the slime in a sealed container or zip-top bag to keep it from drying out.

Tips:

• For a thicker slime, add more saline solution.
• Use plastic bowls/utensils for easier cleanup.
• Play with slime on a protective mat to avoid mess.
• If slime sticks to hair, coconut or olive oil can help remove it.

This recipe is simple and quick, making it suitable for kids and fun homemade activity at home.
