Creating fluffy slime is a fun and popular variation of traditional slime-making. Fluffy slime has a light and airy texture, making it stretchy and easy to manipulate. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make fluffy slime using the ingredients from Elmer’s Fluffy Slime Kit:
Materials Needed:
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your work surface with a disposable tablecloth or some old newspaper to protect it from any potential mess.
- Pour Glue: Start by pouring the entire bottle of Washable Color Glue into your mixing bowl. You can choose any color you like or mix different colors to create a custom color for your fluffy slime. In your kit there are two different colors and two activators to create two batches.
- Add Shaving Cream: Add shaving cream to the glue in the mixing bowl. The amount you use will determine the fluffiness of the slime. Generally, you can use about 1-2 cups of shaving cream for one bottle of glue. However, you can adjust this amount to achieve your desired texture. The more shaving cream you add, the fluffier the slime will be.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the glue and shaving cream together until they are well combined. The mixture should start to look fluffy and cloud-like.
- Optional: Add Color: If you want to add color to your fluffy slime, you can do so at this stage. Just add a few drops of food coloring and mix it in until you achieve your desired color.
- Activate the Slime: Now it's time to add the Slime Activator. Start with a small amount (about 1-2 tablespoons) and stir it into the mixture. The slime will begin to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Knead the Slime: Once the slime starts to form, you can knead it with your hands. This will help distribute the activator evenly and give you a chance to feel the texture of the slime. If it's still too sticky, you can add a bit more activator, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Play and Store: Your fluffy slime is now ready to play with! You can stretch it, squish it, and have fun exploring its unique texture. When you're finished, store it in an airtight container to keep it from drying out.
Remember that slime can get a bit messy, so be prepared to clean up afterward. Additionally, ensure that the child making the slime is supervised, especially when using shaving cream, which should not be ingested or come into contact with eyes. Enjoy your fluffy slime!
