This summer is all about laying back, soaking in the beautiful sunshine, and enjoying everything summer has to offer. For some people, experiencing the glorious summer weather involves long walks on the beach, hiking, camping, fishing, and gardening. Other people may enjoy just taking it easy and just spending time with their family. If that’s you, well, Plant Therapy has the perfect family-friendly DIY that’s super easy to make, and fun for everyone. Allow us to introduce our KidSafe Sunshine Summer Slime!
This Sunshine Summer Slime recipe makes the bestest, stretchiest slime ever. Oh, and as an added bonus, it smells great, too. It features one of our newest blends, Hello Sunshine!

Sunshine Summer Slime
What you’ll need:
- 4 oz school glue
- 1/2 Tbsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp contact lens solution
- 2 tsp Fractionated Coconut Oil
- 6 drops Hello Sunshine
- Yellow food coloring (optional)
What you’ll do:
In a medium bowl, combine your essential oils and carrier oil. Then add the school glue and food coloring and mix well. Add the baking soda and mix again. While stirring, add the contact lens solution and wait for the slime to form. Remove from the bowl and work with your hands until it becomes stretchy, ooey, and gooey. If the mixture is still too tacky, add more contact lens solution 1/2 Tbsp at a time. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh.
Just made 4 batches of this slime with two kiddos and it turned out great! We used Orange Essence, Toy Soldier, and Sunshine. Thanks for the recipe!
I have been wanting to make slime for myself for a long time. I think I will make this one. Thanks.
If one is allergic to cocount oil, what would be a good substitute?
Any carrier oil will do!
Do you happen to know what particular ingredient(s) in the contact lens solution are the activator? I use a brand called Clear Conscious that is thimerosal-free and chlorhexidine-free. And I’m wondering if it wouldn’t work because it doesn’t contain all of the standard solution ingredients? Thanks!
Yes! The ingredients that work as the activator are sodium borate and boric acid.
Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the contact lens solution?
It’s the activator that turns the glue into a slime!
