supplies needed

• 147.9 ml Elmer’s Glow-in-the-Dark Glue
• ½ tbsp baking soda
• 1 tbsp contact lens solution
• Bowl
• Mixing utensils
• Measuring spoons
• Clear balloons

instructions

  1. Pour the entire bottle of Elmer’s Glow-in-the-Dark Glue into a bowl. Add ½ tbsp of baking soda and mix thoroughly. Then add 1 tbsp of contact lens solution and mix until the solution gets thick and slime begins to form.
     
  2. Take the slime out and begin kneading it with both hands. If needed, add ¼ tbsp of contact lens solution to make the slime less sticky.
     
  3. Stretch apart the opening of a balloon, and put about 2 tablespoons of slime inside. Tie off the balloon so it’s secure.
     
  4. You can make just a few or enough for your entire class. Let your students use the Focus Slime as you see fit!
     
  5. Lower the lights for the ultimate glow-in-the-dark fun.

*Adult supervision is required; this project is not appropriate for children under the age of 3 years. Thoroughly wash your hands before and after making and playing with slime. Warning: If large quantities of contact lens solution are accidentally ingested (greater than a tablespoon), seek medical attention immediately.

*Some contact solution brands work better than others; check out our Slime Tips section for all the details
