How to Make Lemonade Slime

Step 1: Gather your supplies

Set out all ingredients and tools on a protected surface so everything is within easy reach.

Step 2: Dissolve the baking soda

Pour the warm water into a medium-sized bowl. Add the baking soda and stir until fully dissolved.

Step 3: Add glue, color and extras

Pour the clear glue into the bowl and stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add 2 drops of yellow food coloring to the mixture. If using, add glitter and styrofoam craft balls. Stir until evenly distributed. Add 1–2 drops of lemon essential oil if desired and mix again.

Step 4: Add the contact solution

Add the contact solution and stir until the slime begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Stir as needed until it is no longer sticky and fully incorporated. Stretch, squish, and explore the finished lemonade slime. Slime can be stored in a resealable ziplock bag or an airtight container when not in use.

All done!

Your slime is ready to stretch and squish!
