The Simplest 3-Ingredient Slime Recipe: DIY Slime Made Easy!

Looking for an easy and fun DIY project? Making slime at home doesn’t have to be complicated! This 3-ingredient slime recipe is perfect for beginners and kids, and it only requires three simple household ingredients. In just a few minutes, you’ll have the perfect stretchy, squishy slime to play with and enjoy.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 1 batch (about 1 cup of slime) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients Needed for the Easiest Slime:

  • 1/2 cup of White School Glue (such as Elmer’s Glue)
  • 1/4 cup of Baking Soda
  • 1 tablespoon of Saline Solution (contact lens solution works best)

Instructions

  • Mix Glue and Baking Soda
    In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of white school glue and 1/4 cup of baking soda. Stir the mixture together until fully combined.
  • Add Saline Solution
    Add 1 tablespoon of saline solution to the glue-baking soda mixture. Stir well, and watch as the slime begins to form! The saline solution is the key to activating the slime.
  • Knead the Slime
    Once the slime starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, take it out and knead it with your hands. This step helps improve its texture and stretchiness. If the slime feels too sticky, add a tiny bit more saline solution, but be careful not to add too much.
  • Play and Store
    Now your slime is ready to play with! When you’re done, store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh for days.

Notes

Tips and Tricks:

  • Add Colors and Glitter: For fun variations, feel free to add food coloring, glitter, or small foam beads to your slime for a personal touch.
  • Adjust Consistency: If your slime is too runny, add a little more baking soda. If it’s too stiff, add more saline solution.
  • Safety First: Always supervise kids while making slime, and make sure they wash their hands afterward.
