Text reads "Fish Fluffy Slime"Slime is pretty popular in our house and fluffy slime is the favourite. Everyone loves the texture that the shaving cream gives to it.

Fluffy Fish Slime Recipe:

Supplies needed:

  • â…” cup white Elmer’s School Glue
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. contact solution containing boric acid and sodium borate

  1. Pour the glue into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add in the water and mix well with a spoon (we find that a wooden spoon works well).
  3. Drop in the baking soda. Mix.
  4. Spoon in the shaving cream. Fold into the mixture and mix.
  5. Add the blue food colouring drops. Stir well until the slime is blue all over.
  6. Slowly add in the contact solution and stir.
  7. Continue to stir to get a fluffy slime consistency.
  8. Finish by kneading the slime with your hands. The slime is going to feel sticky at first. But don’t give up. Keep kneading! If you like, you can use a small amount of baby oil on your hands to keep the slime from sticking to you.
  9. After kneading for several minutes, the slime should be nice and fluffy!
  10. Add the fish toys and fold them into the slime.
