Supplies For This Rainbow Slime Activity

If you’ve been trying some homemade slime recipes earlier for your little one, you’ll need no introduction to the ingredients in this supplies list.

  • 6 (6 ounce) bottles clear Elmer’s Glue (one for each color) or 4 ½ cups clear glue divided into ¾ cup increments
  • About ½ cup warm water, for each batch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda, for each batch
  • 1 tablespoon contact lens solution (containing boric acid), for each batch
  • Food coloring, in red, blue, yellow, and green
  • Toys or foil confetti (if desired)
Rainbow slime ingredients

To make the colors in this project, I used these-

  • Red – 10 drops red food coloring
  • Orange – 5 drops yellow food coloring and 3 drops red food coloring
  • Yellow – 10 drops yellow food coloring
  • Green – 10 drops green food coloring
  • Blue – 10 drops blue food coloring
  • Purple – 5 drops red food coloring and 4 drops blue food coloring
  • You will make six separate batches of slime with one in each color.

How To Make Rainbow Slime

Rainbow slime

Empty the glue into a large bowl.

adding dye to slime

Fill the empty glue bottle about ⅓ full with warm water (about ¼ cup) and seal with the lid. Shake well to combine the remaining glue with the water. Pour into bowl with glue and stir to combine.

Add the baking soda to the glue and stir to mix thoroughly.

If you are adding additional glitter, confetti, or food coloring, stir it into the glue mixture.

Add contact lens solution to the glue mixture and stir well. (Note: regular glue will require less contact lens solution than glitter glue.

Add the contact lens solution slowly, mixing between additions, and add only enough to bring the glue together into a soft ball.)

Remove the slime from the bowl allowing any excess liquid to remain in the bowl.  The slime will be sticky.

Begin to play with the slime, kneading it as you would bread dough, to bring the slime together.
