The first thing your going to want to do is gather your supplies. For this slime you will need school glue, shaving foam, baking soda, contact lens solution, glitter, food coloring, measuring cups, a bowl and something to stir with.

Add Glue

Next add one cup of glue to your bowl. You made add more or less depending on how much slime you want, but I'm adding one cup.

Add Shaving Foam

After adding glue, add your shaving foam. You nay add more than the amount of glue if you want a fluffier slime, and less if you want a less fluffy slime. I added about the same amount of glue. After that mix them together.

Add Food Coloring

Grab your food coloring drops or gel and add them to your slime. Add about 1 to 5 drops depending on how saturated you want the color to be. Be carful to not add too much, it can get messy!

Add Glitter

Continue stirring your slime and add any more of ingredients you may need. If you feel that your slime is not coming together, add more baking soda and contact lens solution.

Knead Your Slime

As the slime starts to come together in the bowl, take it out and start kneading it with your hands. It can get pretty messy, so make sure you do not get on your clothes! If your slime is still very sticky as your continue to knead it, add some more contact lens solution.
