Method to make Flower Petal Glitter Slime with your kids:

Pour your washable color glue into a small bowl.
Add 1 tsp of baking soda and mix until smooth and combined.
Gradually add in 1 tsp of saline eye solution, and stir until your glue becomes slime.
Using your hands, (do not be afraid to get messy) stretch out your slime and wrap your slime in your hands to knead and make smooth.
While your slime is still sticky, add in your flower petals, bit by bit, and continue to knead, gently.
Now is the time to add in some iridescent glitter if you'd like, and keep kneading. *If your slime is still too sticky, apply a bit more saline eye solution and continue to knead.
Once complete, have fun playing with your slime!
