    How To Make Halloween Slime
  • Add a teaspoon of baking soda and mix again.


  • Add one tablespoon of contact lens solution to your mixture and stir with the spoon. Your mixture should begin to stick together. Continue to add a little more contact lens solution until the slime no longer sticks to the bowl. You can see it changing before your eyes - it's a pretty cool experiment at the same time as making slime!


  • Take the slime out of the bowl and knead and stretch it with your hands until it is no longer sticky.
  • Store in an airtight jar or tub. Add Googly eyes to the front!
