  • 5 fl oz Elmer’s Clear Glue
  • Food coloring (as desired)
  • Glitter (as desired)

Here’s what you do:

  1. Find a bowl, cup, or plate to mix your slime in.
  2. Pour out the entire contents of a 5 oz Elmer’s Clear Glue bottle into the bowl.
  3. Add 1⁄2 Tbsp of baking soda and mix.
  4. Add your choice of food coloring and glitter and mix.
  5. Add 1 Tbsp of contact solution.
  6. Mix until slime forms and it begins to get harder to mix.
