Ingredients Needed for Fish Slime
- 1 airtight container
- 1 5 oz bottle of clear glue
- ½ cup water
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp contact solution
- Gel Coloring
(I used a mix of neon blue and navy)
- Blue extra fine glitter
- Clear fishbowl beads
- Plastic fish
How to Make DIY Fish Slime
In a bowl, pour the entire 5 oz bottle of clear glue.
Add in ½ cup of water.
Drop a few colors of blue coloring. We use these soap dyes
. I love them – there are a ton of colors to choose from and they don’t color your hands. I mixed a bit of navy with neon blue. Stir to mix.
Add in ½ tsp baking soda and stir.
Next, add in glitter. We mixed a bit of light blue and dark blue fine glitter.
Add 1 tbsp contact solution. It will instantly begin to form.
Pour in clear fishbowl beads. You can always add more later to get the consistency that you want.
It will be STICKY! Don’t panic! Mix the solution in the bowl until it starts to form.
Knead the slime until it is no longer sticky. Add a few plastic fish and it is ready to play!
Store in an airtight container.

My daughter used to have the habit of putting everything in her mouth. But nowadays she has stopped that habit and I feel it is time for me to make some slime with her. Loved this tutorial, especially the colour and the fishbowl beads you have used! Thank you for this wonderful step by step tutorial 🙂
