Christmas Rainbow Slime

Top Tip

If the slime is too sticky, add a few more drops of contact lens solution and continue to knead with your hands.
Please note: The slime is formed by a chemical reaction between the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in the glue and the borate ion from the boric acid in the contact lens solution. We therefore recommend that the recipe is not altered, as the chemical reaction needs these ingredients to work. Please make sure that the making of the slime is supervised by an Adult. After making / playing with the slime we recommend that hands are thoroughly washed. This Slime is not edible. If your child has any allergies, please make sure you check the ingredients of each of the components. If any signs of reaction appears on the skin, please wash thoroughly and stop use immediately. If in doubt, please seek medical advice.

  1. Pour about eight tablespoons of PVA glue into your mixing bowl.
  2. Add a few drops of red food colouring and mix with a spoon until the colour is completely blended.
  3. Squirt some shaving foam into your mixture, about half the amount of glue, and mix it in.
  4. Then add a teaspoon of baking powder and mix again.
  5. Add about a tablespoon of contact lens solution to your mixture and stir with the spoon.
  6. Your mixture should start to stick together and feel thicker.
  7. Add a little more contact lens solution until the mucus no longer sticks to the bowl.
  8. Take the slime out of the bowl and knead and stretch it with your hands until it is no longer sticky.
  9. Repeat steps 1 to 4 twice more, once with green food colouring and once without food colouring to make white slime. Twist the three slime colours together to create a Christmas rainbow effect. Lay out your Christmas rainbow slime on a flat surface and add some shimmering glitter. Knead the slime with your hands to mix in the glitter.
