How To Make Rainbow Slime
Step 1: Put 1 cup of the white glue in a small mixing bowl. Add red food coloring and stir until the glue is red. We added quite a bit of the food coloring to get a vibrant color.
Step 2: Mix in ½ tsp of baking soda until well combined.
Step 3: Then slowly mix in 1 Tablespoon of the contact lens solution and stir until a slime is formed.
Step 4: Once the glue starts pulling away from the edge of the bowl and is sticking to the spoon, remove the slime from the bowl and knead with your heads until the slime is the consistency that you prefer.
- Step 5: Repeat the same process 5 additional times to make the orange, yellow, green, blue and purple slime.
