What is fluffy slime?
I seem to go in phases when it comes to slime. I’m currently in a bit of a fluffy slime craze. Fluffy slime is just basically regular slime with shaving cream added. I like the texture and the stretch of it. If you like your slime fluffier, you can simply add more shaving cream.
Valentine’s Day Fluffy Slime:
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup of Elmer’s white School Glue
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 1/2 cups shaving cream
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. contact lens solution
- pink glitter
- pink food paste
- tiny red heart confetti
- red plastic hearts
- Add glue to a bowl.
- Mix in water and baking soda.
- Add shaving cream and mix.
- Stir in food colour.
- Slowly add contact solution. Mix.
- Knead.
- If it’s still too sticky, add a drop more of contact solution and knead some more.
Fluffy Slime Troubleshooting Tips:
You’ll need to use contact solution as the activator to create your slime. Otherwise, the glue and shaving cream will just be a blob of goo.
If your slime isn’t fluffy enough, fold in some additional shaving cream. When the slime isn’t stretchy after a few days of play, you can add a bit of hot tap water or a small amount of lotion.
If the slime is too sticky, add a drop or two more contact solution or a small bit of baby oil and knead.
