What is Floam?
Floam is a slime-like substance that along with being stretchy has tiny styrofoam balls mixed into it giving it a fun texture that the kids love to play with.
The Science behind making slime
While slime is a fun activity to do with the kids it is also a science experiment. It is actually ALL science that makes slime actually work when you are making it.
Slime is the end result when there are the correct ratio of polymers to borate ions. To make slime you need both polymers and ions. Most slime recipes are based on a reaction between the polymers in glue and the borate ions in Borax, saline solution or starch. At times there are additional items added to give different textures to the slime, but the basic chemical reaction to get slime is the same.

Tips for Making Floam
To make this floam slime you are going to want to use Elmer’s Clear Glue. Making slime with clear glue is easy, it is just like making slime with white glue, but we find that using clear glue to make this floam slime is better than using the white glue.
I suggest if you plan on making a lot of slime, then do yourself a favor and grab a gallon of glue! It ends up being a LOT cheaper then buying the 4 ounce bottles. I grab mine on Amazon here and make sure we always have a good supply of slime supplies on hand.
If you you are struggling with your slime recipes and they are not getting the super stretchiness that you are wanting make sure you check out how to make stretchy slime.

What contact Solution is best for Slime?
When making slime with contact solution you do not need to use an expensive contact solution. Any brand of contact solution will work to make slime. We personally use the cheap Equate contact solution to make slime. I grab the 4 pack on Amazon and it lasts us quite a while in our slime making adventures.

How to Store Floam Slime
When you are done making your floam slime, store it in an airtight container. When you go to play with it again you may find a little bit of liquid in the container too. Just mix in the liquid back into the slime with your hands.
