INSTRUCTIONS FOR UK SLIME RECIPE
Tip 1 cup of the PVA glue into a clean bowl.
Then add 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda.)
Mix them together.
If you want to add colouring this is the best time to do it. Dip a matchstick or skewer into gel food colouring to pick up a blob, then mix it into the glue and bicarb mixture until it has fully integrated.
Next add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution.
Mix with a spoon until it starts to become stringy, coming away from the edges of the bowl (almost like when you’re cooking eggs.)
At this stage take it out of the bowl and knead it between your hands. It will start off sticking to them but within about 20 seconds it will firm up and stick only to itself, becoming elastic and super stretchy.
[If for some reason it’s still too sticky then add just a few more drops of contact lens solution until it’s just right. Be careful as too much will result in it becoming brittle and snapping.]
You will have just created the most elastic, stretchy and wonderfully satisfying slime! Woo hooooo!
You could now add lots of glitter or sequins to make it even more amazing to play with, or go ahead and make a whole range of other colours and combine them together to make a rainbow extravaganza!
