Remember to wash your hands thoroughly with soap after handling slime.

Making a polymer slime using white glue (white latex adhesive) and contact lens solution is a very popular activity.

But how quickly can such a slime be made?

The "speed slime challenge"

Start the stopwatch!

Mix 20 - 30 ml of white glue, 2 spatula measures of sodium bicarbonate, a drop of food colour and a squirt of shaving foam in a disposable cup.

Add contact lens solution until the slime starts to come away from the sides of the cup.

Knead into a ball and stop the stopwatch.
