The Ooiest, Gooiest, Fluffy Slime Recipe
Have you tried making fluffy slime yet? This is a must-try! The texture is so fun to play with. Kids will love stretching and squishing this fluffy slime. And we have to say, we think this is the best fluffy slime recipe you will try. Slime can be great not only because the feel and sound can have a calming effect on kids, but slime recipes are fairly easy to execute and can be individualized with color, texture, and glitter. Try making slime an interactive experience by inviting your kids to identify the ingredients in their slime while also expressing their feelings when they make a personal glob.
Fluffy Slime Ingredients
If you want a large batch – triple the below recipe. Or you can make 3 batches with 3 different colors and turn your slime into Unicorn Fluffy Slime!
Per Batch:
– 2/3 cup of Elmer’s White Glue
– 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
– 1/4 Cup Water
– 2-3 cups Shaving Cream (do not use shave gel)
– 1.5 Tablespoons Contact Lens Solution (*Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid and sodium borate in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime. We recommend only using Renu fresh or Equate brand. Do not substitute with other brands.)
– Liquid Food Coloring (This set comes with all kinds of vibrant pinks, purples and blues.)
Safety Tips: Adults only should make the slime and handle all chemicals. Do not substitute any ingredients in the slime recipes. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while playing with the slime. Always wash hands before and after use. If you notice any skin irritation discontinue use immediately. Slime is a science experiment and should be made and played with in moderation. See the bottom of the post for more safety precautions before making the slime.
How to Make Fluffy Slime
Add your white glue to a bowl.
Add you water and baking soda and then mix.
Add your shaving cream and mix.
Add your food coloring until you are satisfied with the color. Mix.
Now slowly add in your contact solution.
We like to add in 1 tablespoon, knead for 5 minutes and then add in the 1/2 tablespoon after kneading for some time. The slime will be very sticky when you’re kneading – and that’s normal! The first tablespoon you add will let you start to knead it. And the last 1/2 tablespoon will bring the stickiness down and it shouldn’t be sticking as much to your hands.
Note- fluffy slime is MESSY when you’re making it. It is normal that it will stick to your hands as you’re kneading.
If you find it still too sticky – add some baby oil or lotion to your hands. You can also add more contact solution if it’s still too sticky, just a little bit at a time. If you add too much contact solution the slime may become too hard and won’t be as stretchy to play with.
Now repeat the above recipe for each color you’d like to make. Note: Once you mix the colors together they will eventually mix into one color like play dough does. So you can keep them separately or mix and see what happens! If you make all 3 colors it may turn to gray so if you want to end up with purple just mix the pink and purple together.
