SLIME BOOK AVAILABLE!!

Love the Slime Recipes on MomDot? Our first book has been published and you can pick up a copy right on Amazon for yourself or to gift to a slime fan in your house! It features not only some fun basic slime recipes and how to get started on creating your own, but also some ways to use slime for holidays and gifts! Check out the book here!

First things first. You need a few supplies. Supplies are important in every craft project and being prepared is half the battle. I buy all my supplies on amazon for a few reasons. One, finding this stuff, while not uncommon materials, can be super hard.

Glue is in a shortage everywhere due to kids making slime! Liquid starch is also not at every store. I also have done some experiments and the colorant I listed below is hands down the best for projects where you want some color pop.

To get started, you still need the traditional slime ingredients. For us, that is a Gallon of Elmer’s Glue, Liquid Starch, a colorant if you want it to have color (I prefer Wilton’s Food Coloring) and for this, the additive that makes fluffy slime work, extra moisturizing shaving cream.

Here is a list of items you will need for your fluffy slime recipe.

This fluffy slime is made with liquid starch. I have found that its EASY to reproduce whereas slime with borax as the thickening agent can go badly quickly and leave you with a hard rock of slime.

Do not wonder what went wrong- just use liquid starch.

I always use GALLON SIZED GLUE. Tiny bottles do not produce a lot of slime and this is an addicting project. Go ahead and get the gallon size. You cannot find this in stores.
Liquid Starch – This can be impossible to find, so also better to grab online
Food coloring (OPTIONAL) I use Wilton’s Color Right for the best and brightest results if you prefer this to have color instead of white

Ultimate Fluffy Slime Recipe

Now lets make it! Fluffy slime is actually (in my opinion) the easiest slime you can make. Because of the shaving cream, its almost a no fail. The first thing you need to do is start with glue. Pour approx 2 cups of glue into a bowl.

How to make Fluffy Slime without Laundry Detergent

You do not need to measure this…just wing it.

As much glue as you pour is about as much slime as you will get returned. f you want a lot of slime like in this recipe, I suggest you make a few small batches and then combine versus over pouring. You will have mixing problems otherwise.

Spray in about 1 cup of white foamed shaving cream and mix the glue and shaving cream together.

Add a few drops of your coloring and stir. You can make this any color you want so feel free to get creative.

To make the slime as shown in this article, you will need 3-4 separate batches of colored slime to mix.

Once your slime is colored, its time to add the liquid starch.

Spray starch is not the same thing, please use liquid. Pour in approx 2-3 tablespoons full of starch and stir. The glue will start to form immediately. Stir for a few minutes to get it all mixed up and then take out the goop and begin kneading between your hands, passing back and forth.

Here is the tip: If the slime is sticking to your fingers, it doesn’t have enough starch. Either dip your slime back into the bowl and mix more starch (if there is some left in there) or pour a little bit more into the glue mixture little by little till it starts unsticking.

The entire process can take about 5 minutes. It’s easier to add more starch than add more glue, so its better to start with less starch and add. The reason there are no hard measurements is because most people make varying sizes of slime batches, so you will need to find the exact ratio.

Once you have all of your slime, combine in a deep bowl and play!
