In our house we have been experimenting with several different recipes to make our own slime and we finally found one that REALLY works. Even better it only requires three ingredients and no harmful chemicals like powder Borax. So, here it is:
Elmer’s Glue – you can try using cheaper brands but we find that Elmer’s works best. You can find a small container of this at Walmart for only $1.44. You can also find Elmer’s on Amazon by clicking HERE.
Baking Soda – you can get Arm & Hammer baking soda on Amazon by clicking HERE.
Contact Solution – No need to buy the name brand stuff – you can get a bottle of Equate Solution at Walmart for $2.98. One bottle will last you forever. Make sure you buy contact solution and NOT saline solution which will not work.
Food Coloring (Optional) – if you want to add some color you can add a few drops of food coloring. In our picture we added a few drops of green food coloring.
Directions:
Put glue into a small container or bowl
Add a teaspoon of baking soda
Mix thoroughly
Add a teaspoon of contact solution
Mix together and then knead with your hands
If it is too sticky or runny then add a bit more baking soda and knead by hand. The exact amounts may vary but you will soon have perfect slime and all for about $5 (assuming you need to purchase all these ingredients and don’t already have some at home). Don’t waste your money on those slime kits for $10-15 – we tried several and none of them worked as well as the recipe above.
