The Best Fluffy Slime Recipe
We love all different types of slime, but I think you know that already! We believe that slime is the perfect kid’s craft to make that is also the perfect way to introduce science experiments to kids.
One of my kid’s all-time favorite slimes to make is fluffy slime. Not only does it stretch and ooze like regular slime, but it is fluffy and pillowy like that it is just so much fun to squish and squeeze in your hands. The slime craze has never ended in our house and making diy slime recipes is something that happens all the time in our house.
You can make this fluffy slime any color that you want to and add in any extras like glitter or confetti that you want to and fully customize this slime recipe to fit your personality and loves.
This fun slime recipe is not only fun to make but super fun to play with too. It has the perfect foamy texture and a great sensory material. You can make multiple batches and have different colors and mix them together when playing and have a swirled fluffy slime.
Because we are making slime with young children we prefer to use the saline solution as the activator instead of using borax powder or liquid starch although we do recommend that parents make slime with their children. When making slime for the first time we suggest following safety precautions like using plastic gloves to make sure your children do not have sensitive skin.
Why is Fluffy Slime called Fluffy Slime?
Fluffy slime is super fluffy and pillowy soft. You make fluffy slime just like you do regular slime but then add in shaving cream to make it fluffy. The more shaving cream you add the fluffier it will get. If you want perfect fluffy slime be sure to follow the instructions of this recipe perfectly. For our fluffy slime recipe, we use contact solution instead of borax or liquid starch because we find it is easier and I do not like young children using the chemicals that are with borax and liquid starch.

How long will fluffy slime last?
The fluffiness of the slime will only last about a day even if it is stored properly. It will still be fluffier than your normal slime but not as fluffy as when you first make it after you have stored it. Fluffy slime will keep for about a week if you store it in an airtight container.
How do you know if the slime is overactivated?
When you are making slime you need to use slime activators, for our recipe, we use saline solution (other recipes for slime call for using borax or liquid starch but we prefer to use saline solution for our slime recipes). If you add too much saline solution then your slime will go from being slime-like to very rubbery and break apart easily.
How do you keep the slime from sticking to your hand when making it?
Fluffy slime is sticky when it is being made so you can use gloves while you are making it or you can rub your hands with baby oil or lotion before making the slime to keep it from sticking to your hands.
How do you fix a stiff fluffy slime?
If your slime is dry and stiff that does not mean that it is ruined. Add the slime to a small bowl and then add a little bit of water to the bowl and squish the slime with the water to add the water to the ball of slime and incorporate the water into the slime to bring it back to being stretchy and fun.
How to store Fluffy Slime
Butter slime needs to be stored in an airtight container. When stored properly it will last for about a week. You can also store it in a zip-close plastic bag and squeeze the air out of it.
How do you make stretchy and fluffy slime?
Butter slime is stretchy and fluffy because when it is made you also use shaving cream (which makes it fluffy) along with the normal slime ingredients that make it stretchy. To get the perfect fluffy slime recipe you will be adding foaming shaving cream to the basic slime recipe to get the perfect homemade fluffy slime recipe that the kids will love playing with.
What is the best glue for slime?
The best glue to use when making slime is Elmer’s white glue. For this slime recipe, we are using white school glue, but other recipes that we have use clear glue and we always suggest using Elmer’s glue as we find it is the best glue for slime making.
What is the best contact solution to use as a Slime activator when making slime?
When making slime it is important that the ingredients in your saline solution have the ingredients needed to react with the glue so the slime forms. Whatever brand of contact lens solution you use must have boric acid and sodium borate in the ingredient list.
What is the best Shaving cream to use for fluffy slime?
The cheap foaming shaving cream is the best shaving cream to use. I do not suggest using gel shaving cream, while it fluffs up when you are using it to shave, you need to use your hands to make it fluffy before putting it into the slime. You also want to be careful not to add too much shaving cream as it will make the slime start to get liquid instead of being a slime consistency. Be sure to follow the measurements we have shared in this slime recipe.
How do you color slime?
I find the best way to color slime is by using liquid food coloring. You only need a few drops and it can be any of the colors you want to. You can also
