  • Add a few drops of blue food coloring and a sprinkle of fine glitter to the glue mixture. Stir well until vibrant.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of baking soda until well incorporated for perfect thickness.
  • Gradually add 1 tablespoon of contact lens solution while stirring continuously until slime forms.
  • Knead the slime for 1-2 minutes until it reaches a smooth, stretchy feel.

  • Store the aquarium slime in an airtight container to maintain its squishy texture.
