Materials Needed:
- 1/2 cup white school glue

- 1 tbsp contact lens solution
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, mix together the white school glue and water until well combined.
2. Add the baking soda to the glue mixture and stir until the baking soda is fully incorporated.
3. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to achieve the desired color of your slime.
4. Slowly add the contact lens solution to the mixture, stirring as you pour. Continue adding the contact lens solution until the slime begins to form and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
