The Fluffliest Slime Recipe Ever!

September 26, 2018 by Shellie Wilson

If you’re looking for the ultimate slime recipe that’s fun, colorful, and oh-so-satisfying to squish, this fluffy slime is it! Seriously — it’s one of the softest, puffiest slimes we’ve ever tried, and the best part? It’s super easy to make at home. Whether you’re planning a rainy-day craft session, a sensory activity, or just a bit of creative fun, this DIY slime will be a huge hit with kids of all ages. Before you dive in, be sure to gather all your supplies so the process is smooth and mess-free. Let’s get started on making some irresistibly fluffy slime! 

 

Gather these supplies

1/4 cup of water

1/2 cup of clear glue or 1/2 cup of white school glue

1 tsp of baking soda

assorted food coloring

2 – cups of shaving cream

1/4 cup of liquid starch (laundry section of supermarket)

Disposable plastic cups and spoons

Then make the slime!

Add the bi-carb soda to the water and then mix into the glue.

Add the shaving cream next and stir well.

Mix the liquid starch into the glue/water mix.

You need to work fast as the slime will start to form immediately. Stir for about 20 seconds, then take out of the cup and start kneading the mix, it will be sticky at first but will start coming together.

The mixture will start to thicken immediately. If it is still sticky add a few more drops of the liquid starch, keep doing this until it all comes together.

That is it!

Store in an air-tight container.

Slime is a great stress reliever as well as an educational tool. Not only does it teach science but it is hands-on, which means children are using their fine motor skills to make and or play with slime.

Playing with slime is an important activity for children because it provides a tactile experience, which can be beneficial for their development. Tactile play is an important form of play that helps children to explore and understand their environment through their sense of touch.

Slime, being a malleable and squishy substance, allows children to engage in this type of tactile play by exploring its texture, shape, and consistency. This type of play helps children develop their fine motor skills, as they manipulate and mold the slime with their hands. It also encourages creativity and imagination, as children can create different shapes and designs with the slime.

Additionally, playing with slime can also help children with sensory processing disorders, as it provides a calming and soothing sensation when touched, which can help them to feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Overall, playing with slime is an excellent way to encourage children to explore their sense of touch and engage in tactile play. It can also help them develop important skills such as fine motor skills, creativity and imagination, and even provide calming and soothing sensations.
