Red, White, and Blue Slime

4th of July Slime

This is one simple contact solution slime recipe that the kids can play with over and over again.

Slime is so much fun!

In our house, creating easy slime recipes for the kids to play with is something that we love to do. I’m not worried about the mess that slime can sometimes make because we use it at a table and don’t have to worry about it staining or sticking to any surfaces.

Since we’re “pro” slime in our house, we are always having fun with different Slime Recipes with Glue and slime recipes with contact solution.

Making this up for the Fourth of July holiday or summer activity gives the kids something fun to enjoy with their senses.

How to Make Slime with Contact Solution

Supplies Needed:

1 (6 ounce) bottle Elmer’s Glue in each: blue, red, and white or clear
About ½ cup warm water, for each batch
½ teaspoon baking soda, for each batch
1 tablespoon contact lens solution (containing boric acid), for each batch
White or iridescent glitter, for the white slime
Red and blue food coloring, if darker colors are desired

Easy Slime Recipe

If you haven’t made slime before, it’s awesome and it’s easy to make. So let’s get started…

You will start by making three separate batches of slime with one in each color.

Begin by emptying the glue into a large bowl.

Fill the empty glue bottle about ⅓ full with warm water (about ¼ cup) and seal with the lid. Shake well to combine the remaining glue with the water. Then, pour into the bowl with glue and stir to combine.

Next, add the baking soda to the glue and stir to mix thoroughly.

If you are adding additional glitter, food coloring, or confetti, stir into the glue mixture before adding the contact lens solution.

Next, add contact lens solution to the glue mixture and stir well. (Note: regular glue will require less contact lens solution than glitter glue. Add the contact lens solution slowly, mixing between additions, and add only enough to bring the glue together into a soft ball.)

This is how it will look once stirred well.

Remove the slime from the bowl. The slime will be sticky. Begin to play with the slime, stretching or kneading it as you would bread dough, to bring the slime together. The slime is ready when it is no longer sticky.

This slime stays at its best if it’s stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator when not in use.
