Ever wondered how to make slime? It makes for a fun science experiment and is an absolute winner among kids — and adults, for that matter! Kids will develop both their cognitive and motor skills as they learn to mix the correct quantities of ingredients and explore their slimy creation!

Tip 100 ml of PVA glue into a bowl, add the bicarbonate of soda and mix them together.
If you wish to make coloured slime (rather than white slime), add a small amount of food colouring and mix in – start with a small amount and add more if needed. Note: the food colouring will stain your hands when you work the slime, so be careful!
Next, add the contact lens solution and mix it with a spoon until its consistency begins to change, becoming stringy. Start to knead the slime with your hands - at first it will be sticky, but after working it for a while it will become harder and elastic, and only stick to itself.
If you find your slime is too sticky, add a little more contact lens solution. Be sure to only add small amounts at a time, as too much solution will make it lose its elasticity and snap.
