Easy DIY Mardi Gras Slime
This easy DIY Mardi Gras Slime is easy to make and only 5 ingredients. Purple, green and gold slime make for a fun kids activity.
Ingredients
- 3 bottles Elmer's Glue in each: purple, gold, green one purple, one green, one gold
- 1 1/2 cups warm water divided, 1/2 cup in each bowl
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon for each batch
- 3 tablespoons contact lens solution containing boric acid, 1 tablespoon for each batch
- Toys or foil confetti if desired
Instructions
-
You will make three separate batches of slime with one in each color. Empty 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. Pour into bowl with glue and stir to combine. Add the baking soda to the glue and stir to mix thoroughly.
-
If you are adding additional glitter or confetti, stir the glitter into the glue mixture.
-
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.)
-
Remove the slime from the bowl allowing any excess liquid to remain in the bowl. The slime will be sticky. Begin to play with the slime, kneading it as you would bread dough, to bring the slime together. The slime is ready when no longer sticky.
-
Repeat the whole process for each color of slime. Best if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator when not in use.
