How-To
Shaving Cream Slime Recipe
Materials
Ingredients for “Slime Activator”:
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 tsp. Borax
Ingredients for Slime:
- 1/4 cup Elmer’s glue don’t try this with other brands of glue
- 1/4 cup shaving cream
- 1/4 cup foaming hand soap
- 3 pumps regular hand soap
- Food coloring optional
- Slime Activator — 1 tsp. at a time
- 2 pumps body lotion optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, make the slime activator by mixing 1 cup hot water with 1 tsp. Borax laundry booster; stirring until fully dissolved. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or container, add Elmer’s glue, shaving cream, foaming hand soap, and liquid hand soap. Mix well.
- Once the glue mixture is stirred well, add 2-8 drops of food coloring (optional) to make the slime whatever color you’d like. Kaitlynn has made all sorts of fun colors.
- Once the color is fully incorporated, add the Slime Activator ONE tsp at a time, stirring continually, until the slime forms into a ball (it only takes a few seconds).
- Once your slime has formed into a shaggy ball, take it out of the bowl and start kneading it on the table (just like bread dough).
Notes
You can keep the Slime Activator for a few weeks in an airtight container if you are planning to make multiple batches of Homemade Slime.
If you’d like your slime to be more stretchy, you may add a little body lotion and knead it in until you get it to your desired stretchiness.
When you’re finished making (and playing with) your slime, you’ll want to store it in an air-tight food container or zip-top bag to keep it from drying out.
