What You’ll Need

Before we begin, let’s gather all the ingredients and supplies we’ll need to make crunchy slime:

• White glue (4 ounces)

• Shaving cream (optional for extra fluffiness)

• Lotion (1-2 pumps, for added stretch)

• Baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)

• Contact lens solution (contains boric acid and sodium borate)

• Food coloring (optional, for vibrant colors)

• Foam beads (or other crunchy add-ins like plastic beads, fishbowl beads, or styrofoam pieces)

• Mixing bowl and spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Base Slime

1. Pour the Glue: Start by pouring the white glue into your mixing bowl. If you want your crunchy slime to be fluffy as well, add a squirt of shaving cream at this stage and mix well.

2. Add Baking Soda: Add the baking soda to the mixture and stir until fully combined. This helps to give the slime some structure.

3. Add Lotion: Pump in 1-2 squirts of lotion. This makes the slime stretchy and fun to play with.

4. Mix in Food Coloring: If you want colorful slime, add a few drops of food coloring now and mix until you achieve your desired hue.

Step 2: Activate the Slime

1. Add Contact Lens Solution: Slowly add the contact lens solution, one tablespoon at a time, while stirring. The slime will start to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Keep adding the solution until the slime reaches a stretchy but not sticky consistency.

Step 3: Add the Crunch

1. Foam Beads or Crunchy Add-ins: Now comes the fun part! Add your foam beads or other crunchy add-ins to the slime. Start with a handful and knead them into the slime. You can always add more if you want extra crunchiness.

2. Mix Well: Keep kneading the beads into the slime until they are evenly distributed. The slime should feel crunchy and make a satisfying crackling sound when you squeeze it.

Step 4: Play and Store

1. Play Time: Your crunchy slime is ready to play with! Stretch it, squish it, and enjoy the unique texture and sounds. Crunchy slime is perfect for sensory play and can be incredibly satisfying.

2. Store Properly: When you’re done playing, store your crunchy slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh and stretchy. If it starts to dry out, you can add a little lotion to revive it.

Tips and Tricks

• Experiment with Add-ins: Try using different types of beads or mix-ins to create new textures and sounds.

• Scented Slime: Add a drop of essential oil for a pleasant scent.

• Custom Colors: Mix different colors of foam beads to create a colorful, confetti-like effect.

And there you have it – your very own crunchy slime! This fun, crackly craft is perfect for any slime lover looking to add a new dimension to their playtime. We hope you have a blast making and playing with your crunchy slime.
