How to make slime with baking soda

To make Borax powder-free slime, just add a pinch or two of baking soda per ounce of glue (around 1 tsp per bottle of clear glue), stir, add food coloring or glitter and then keep adding contact lens solution and stirring until the glue isn't sticky any more. Mix glue and baking soda together then add food coloring, add contact solution until mixture no longer sticks to the bowl, once all mixed together, add baby oil to reduce stickiness. If you prefer not to let your kids mix up slime using powdered detergent, contact lens solution containing boric acid makes a good Borax substitute, when combined with baking soda and glue.

But the other day, my 11-YO brought home a slime recipe featuring clear glue, baking soda, shaving cream and contact lens solution, and I was baffled. In 2016, school glue became a hot commodity when the "slime" craze hit classrooms across the U.S. With a simple mixture of glue, water, and a few other ingredients, kids can create a textured blob that's fun to knead, stretch, mold, and shape.

Pour clear glue into a bowl and add baking soda, add your glitter glue, mix. Mix glue and baking soda together, then add food coloring. 3. Add contact lens solution to the bowl and mix, then knead, until slime is formed into appropriate consistency.
