Its slime time again folks! Learn how to make the perfect slime with our easy to follow the recipe using PVA glue and contact lens solution. This slime contains NO borax and creates glorious slimy-slime consistency kids will love!

You Will Need:

- A Bowl

- A Wooden Spoon or spatula

- Teaspoon

- Tablespoon

- Half a cup of PVA Glue

We used Ryman Coloured PVA Glue

- Quarter of a cup of cold water

- Half a heaped teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda

- One tablespoon of Contact Lens Solution (must contain boric acid)

- 2/4 Heaped teaspoons of cornflour – this will thicken your slime if needed and also prevent it from sticking to your hands!

- Glitter

Method:

#1 Measure half a cup of PVA glue into a cup and tip into the large bowl.

#2 Measure quarter (of the same cup) of cold water and add that to the bowl with the half teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.

#3 Next measure a tablespoon of the Contact Lens Solution and add to the mixture. You can now begin to stir the ingredients together, notice how the texture begins to change from runny to thick and gloopy, you can now begin to knead the mixture with your hands....

#4 If your mixture is looking too runny you can now thicken it using the cornflour – add a teaspoon at a time until you have the consistency that you want! There is no right or wrong consistency with slime… just have fun!

#5 Finally add your favourite glitter to create glimmering slime that you won’t want to put down!

Have fun pulling, stretching, rolling and squeezing your gloopy flubber. Don’t forget to store your slime in an airtight tub or container once you have finished playing with it to keep it moist.

Warnings! - Please note adult supervision is required at all times during this activity. Please ensure children only play with slime for limited periods of time due to skin irritation that may occur. Slime is not for consumption - please seek immediate medical attention if swallowed or ingested. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after every use.

Storage! – Please store out of children’s reach in an airtight container to prevent from drying out.
