Valentines Slime UK Ingredients
We’ve been playing and adapted our slime for Valentine’s Day – what says I love you more than… Slime!
We played around with the recipe a bit and tested them out. We made one Slime which was more like a silly putty. The second was super stretchy and Freya and Seb preferred this stretching it across the room…
Recipe 1: firmer silly putty slime
Ingredients:
- PVA Glue – I always buy 5 litres at a time as we use PVA a lot – you could just buy a smaller bottle – PVA Glue on amazon
- Bicarbonate of soda
- Contact lens solution – if you don’t buy this one check it contains boric acid as this reacts with the bicarbonate of soda to help make the slime apparently!
- Glitter – any glitter will do!! In the UK I have found B&M home stores has amazing big tubs of glitter for just £1.99
- Gel Food colouring – Any will do but I love these ones from amazon #affiliate Wilton Icing colours
- Heart confetti
Method:
For each 1 cup of PVA glue that you use you will need 1 tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda.
Add gel colour.
Mix these together in a bowl.
Add desired amount of glitter – you can always add more later 🙂
Next you need to add the contact lens solution – we add about a tablespoon at a time.
Mix well and then add another tablespoon.
Repeat this until the desired slime is achieved.
It will start to come together in a lump on the spoon. If you then touch it with your finger to test if it is sticky. If it is – add some more contact lens solution.
Now you are ready to play!!
