Servings 1 batch of fluffy slime makes

What you need

  • ½ cup Elmer's white glue
  • ½ cup shaving cream
  • ½ cup good smelling foaming hand soap
  • 1 tbs corn starch
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp Borax
  • Food coloring
  • 1 tbs hand or body lotion

Directions

  1. Mix 1 cup warm water with 1 tsp of Borax in a paper cup and stir until completely dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Add 1/2 cup Elmer's white glue to a bowl.
  3. Add 1/2 cup shaving cream to the bowl.
  4. Add 1/2 cup foaming soap to the bowl and a tablespoon of hand or body lotion.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of corn starch and a couple drops of food coloring and mix together with a plastic spoon.
  6. Once everything is completely mixed, add 1 spoonful of the Borax mixture at a time while stirring. Add about 4 small spoonfuls and mix. Then add one more at a time until the slime is not sticky. It should take about 9 spoonfuls total. Squish with your hands until pliable. Important: Do not add too much Borax or the slime will be too tough.
