Here is the safest and easiest way to make glitter slime!

Glittler Slime:
1/2 cup of glitter glue
1/2 cup of water:
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of contact solution

Mix the water and glue together until fully combined. Next mix in your baking soda. Next mix in your contact solution. You need to stir fast like you are trying to really whip up something! If it feels loose, you can squirt a bit of solution into the bowl. The slime will begin to form immediately thanks to the mixture of boric acid and sodium borate that is present in the saline solution. These two ingredients are cross linking agents that create your slime. Once the slime looks like it is pulling away from the sides and bottom of the bowl nicely, it’s time to pick it up. The final step is to knead your slime (very important). As you knead the slime it will become less sticky. AGE 2+
