Slimes are a great sensory activity for kids. There are many slime recipes out there. I wanted to showcase some of the most unique slime recipes. I’m sure you will find these as cool as your kids will find them!

These unique slime recipes are sure to wow! From magnetic slime to colour changing slime to slimes made with the most unusual ingredients you can imagineMy kids, in particular my girls, are always on the lookout for cool slime recipes. Our kitchen now has so many plastic containers and resealable bags full of different types of slime!

My girls scour the internet and Pinterest searching for the latest and greatest slime ideas, which is one of the reasons that I decided to put this list together and have all the types of slime in one place.

Unique Types Of Slime

Unique Slime Ingredients

Edible Fluffy Slime

This taste safe slime uses all edible ingredients. It is borax free and has no contact lens solution, so it’s completely safe for toddlers and little ones who might still be putting things in their mouths.

Textured Butter Slime

This very unique slime actually uses old playdough that’s started to dry up as one of its ingredients. So not only does it have an awesome buttery texture, it also makes use of something you might otherwise have just thrown away.

Diaper Slime

This recipe from Sugar, Spice and Glitter has got to be one of the most unique slime ideas out there. It gets its fluffiness from the crystals in disposable diapers!

Cornstarch Slime

STEAM Powered Kids has tested out 3 different cornstarch slime recipes and provides detailed instructions as well as revealing which one is their favourite of the bunch.

Super Stretchy No Borax Slime

What makes this type of slime from STEAM Powered Kids so different is that it doesn’t use Borax, liquid starch or detergent.

Sand Slime

This slime idea by Little Bins for Little Hands uses real sand to create a fun sensory slime.

Unicorn Slime

Our unicorn slime contains both shaving cream and foaming hand wash as well as other ingredients, giving it a unique consistency.

Crunchy Slime

The add-ins in our Frozen Inspired Elsa Slime make it crunchy. This texture contrasts the squishiness of the slime making it a truly unique experience.

Halloween Slime

Spider Web Slime

There’s a “secret” slime ingredient in this one that makes it look like a spider web.

Hallowe’en Slime

I love the look of this glittery slime. It’s simple, but still very cool.

Rainbow or Glitter Slime

Glow in the Dark Slime

Anything glow in the dark is just plain fun, and then add glitter!

Rainbow Slime

I love the contrast of colours in this simple rainbow slime recipe with a twist. It’s one we really like.

Rainbow Glitter Slime

This glittery rainbow slime from MomDot is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or Spring.

Science Slime

Magnetic Slime Recipe

This magnetic slime recipe (yes, really!) from Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls is part sensory, part science and all fun!

Heat Sensitive Colour Changing Slime

Another science lesson with slime can be found in this colour changing slime by Left Brain Craft Brain.

Galaxy Slime

This gorgeous galaxy slime from Two Daloo is super cool!

Slime With Clear Glue

Polka Dot Slime

Fun at Home with Kids’ polka dot slime is the first slime recipe I ever tried to make and it turned out wonderfully. The key is to use the clear glue.

Stretchy Christmas Tree Slime

This slime is extremely stretchy. That makes it fun to play with. Like all slimes, it’s also pretty fun to make.

Fall Leaves Slime

This simple recipe is a great way to welcome autumn and bring some colour and texture to sensory play.

Minnie Mouse Slime

I’m a huge Minnie Mouse fan, so this Minnie Mouse slime was kind of an inevitability! It turned out to be super cute.

Edible Slime

Baby Safe Edible Slime

Wildflower Ramblings came up with this safe slime recipe that even little ones can play with.

Slime Drawing

Who would have ever thought to use slime for artwork?! I love this idea from Left Brain Craft Brain.
