Description

This DIY Bubble Gum Slime is fun, stretchy, and smells just like real bubble gum! With a few simple ingredients, you can create a soft and fluffy slime that’s perfect for sensory play. Follow this easy recipe to make your own bubble gum-scented slime at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white school glue (PVA glue)

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 tablespoon bubble gum scented oil

  • 23 drops pink food coloring

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for extra fluffiness)

  • 12 tablespoons contact lens solution (must contain boric acid)


Instructions

  • Pour the white school glue into a mixing bowl.

  • Add the baking soda and stir until fully combined.

  • Mix in the bubble gum scented oil and pink food coloring. Stir well.

  • If using, add the cornstarch for a fluffier texture. Stir until smooth.

  • Slowly add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution while stirring. The slime will start to thicken.

  • Continue adding a few more drops of contact lens solution until the slime pulls away from the bowl.

  • Knead the slime with your hands for 2-3 minutes until it becomes stretchy and smooth.

  • If the slime is too sticky, add a few more drops of contact lens solution and knead again.

  • Play with your slime and store it in an airtight container when not in use.

Notes

  • For a shinier slime, add a drop of baby oil.

  • If the slime is too stiff, mix in a little lotion to soften it.

  • Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh for longer.
