Instructions:
Step 1: Find what you need
- Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Mix together slime
- Add glue, baking soda, and 2 drops of blue food colouring to a bowl.
- Stir, mixing until the colour is totally combined.
- Add contact lens solution.
- Stir until the slime has activated, creating a very thick, goopy slime. Set aside.
Step 3: Mix the instant snow
- Add water to a separate bowl.
- Sprinkle on the instant snow and watch it grow, like magic!
- Stir the instant snow. It mixes well by itself, but this ensures the water is completely mixed in.
Step 4: Combine the two
- Sprinkle a few spoons of instant snow over the slime.
- Fold the slime over the snow and start working it together with your hands. It will still be sticky at this point.
- Sprinkle more snow over the slime.
- Knead the snow and work it together. Add more snow as needed, until you get the fluffy texture you want.We used at least 1/2 of the snow we made.
- Your cloud slime is complete!
