How to make ladybug slime:

Before you get started with your ladybug slime recipe, gather up all your ingredients and lay them out in front of you. Slime is much easier when everything is ready to go!

Now, pour the clear glue into a small bowl and then add the water. Add the baking soda and stir.

Next, add the red coloring. While you can use food coloring, soap colorant works much better since it’s cosmetic grade and won’t stain surfaces or skin.

Now it’s time to add in the glitter! Sprinkle in some mini pom poms as well.

Once you’ve done that, add the contact solution and watch it instantly begin to form. Mix the solution until it starts to form – it will be very sticky but that’s okay at this stage!

Knead the slime until it is no longer sticky and continue to add more pom poms until you’re happy with the result.

Finish it off with some ladybug charms and start playing with your ladybug slime!

Enjoy! Be sure to store in an airtight container when not in use.
