Aquarium Slime is a vibrant, engaging sensory adventure perfect for kids, offering a stretchable texture and endless fun.

1 cup Clear School Glue or clear craft glue as substitute
½ cup Water
1 tablespoon Baking Soda vital for achieving perfect squidgy texture
1 tablespoon Contact Lens Solution (with Boric Acid) saline solution as alternative
a few drops Blue Food Coloring or Liquid Watercolor experiment with other colors for different themes
a sprinkle Fine Glitter (Blue, Silver, Iridescent) optional but recommended for sparkle
as desired Mini Fish Beads, Plastic Sea Creatures, or Aquarium Rocks for under-the-sea theme
as desired Small Seashells or Foam Beads optional for additional beachy effect

In a mixing bowl, mix 1 cup of clear school glue with ½ cup of water. Stir them together until fully blended and smooth.
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.
Gently fold in your mini fish beads and any extra decorations for imaginative play.
Store the aquarium slime in an airtight container to maintain its squishy texture.

Supervision is key with children. Avoid over-kneading and ensure fresh ingredients for best results.
