Sensory Slime Easter Egg Slime Food Safe Toddler Goop Recipe PIN TO SAVE THIS FLUFFY SLIME RECIPE We really LOVE making slime! We have a basic Borax slime recipe that’s also perfect for Valentine’s Day, a multicolored sensory slime recipe, our fun pastel Easter egg slime recipe, and even a food safe goop recipe for those of you with younger kiddos.

Eventually the colors all mix together, but it still stays nice and fluffy!

Now your slime is ready for lots of stretching and squashing. Soon they will make beautiful multicolored lines in the slime. Start twisting the slime together, stretching and folding it as you go. She was SO proud of herself for identifying that there were five different colors! Larkin turned it into a preschool counting lesson. Then line the slime colors up side by side. If you want to make your slime multicolored like ours, follow the fluffy slime recipe directions mixing each color of slime individually. Add it a little bit at a time, you can always add more. Fluffy slime can stick to your hands a bit, but should be easy to remove if you touch it quickly.īe careful not to add too much starch or the slime will get pretty stiff and not stretch well. If the slime is sticky, add a bit more liquid starch. You can use anywhere from a tablespoon to 1/2 cup of liquid starch depending on how many batches you divide your slime into. When it starts to totally stick to your stir stick, pick it up and knead it in your hands. Start with a tablespoon at a time, mixing it in. Use separate spoons or craft sticks to mix each one so you don’t muddy your colors. Larkin wanted to make blue and green slime for her Seahawks loving big brother. We divided our fluffy slime base between 5 bowls. If you are adding food coloring, you need to do that before you activate the slime. You should now have a much fluffier consistency than you did with just the glue. Mix the shaving cream and glue together, until the shaving cream is completely incorporated. Larkin was immediately enthralled by how fluffy it is and tried to blow it down. Squirt about 1 cup of shaving cream into the bowl. This is the perfect opportunity to put on some music and have a dance party! Give your shaving cream some really good shaking. I did this step since the jug is way too heavy for Larkin. We like our slime to start out multicolored (the colors all mix together as you play with it) so we also gather food coloring and one bowl for each color we plan to make. You’ll also need a bowl to mix your slime in, and a spatula or craft stick for stirring it.

You’ll need Elmer’s glue, liquid starch, and shaving cream. Okay friends, Larkin is ready to show you our fluffy slime recipe. We use Barbasol brand but any shaving cream that foams up well should work. Make sure you get a foaming shaving cream, not the gel shaving cream. Some people use foaming face wash or hand wash, but the best fluffy slime ingredient is plain old shaving cream. The key to making fluffy slime is using something that foams up.

Make slime with liquid starch Activator#

We make a LOT of slime, and liquid starch is quite a bit cheaper, so that’s our activator for this homemade fluffy slime recipe. You can use contact solution (aka saline solution) as a slime activator, as well as liquid starch. Borax is a brand name for sodium borate, a mix of boric acid and salt. While the supposed dangers of borax have been disproved, it is possible (though rare) to have an allergic reaction, so we made this fluffy slime recipe without borax. Most slime recipes use borax (here’s our borax slime recipe) as the activator. We buy our elmer’s glue by the gallon! You can also get clear glue for a clear slime, but it costs more, and fluffy slime ends up being white so you may as well go with the white glue. Make sure it’s PVA glue (PVA stands for polyvinyl acetate) as you need those specific long chain molecules for your slime to work. Making slime is not just a super fun sensory activity, it’s actually a science experiment all about chemistry! To make slime you need a base of washable glue.
