How to Make Slime with Glue and Baking Soda

Mix your 3 ingredient slime together in a bowl. It will seem sticky, but don’t worry – just keep mixing.

Contact Solution Slime

Once the slime has formed remove it from the bowl and knead it with clean, dry hands until it reaches the correct conssitency. If your slime baking soda is too sticky, just add a little more contact solution and knead it into the mixutre.
