How to make fluffy slime with only 3 ingredients. It is super soft and stretchy! It only takes 5 minutes to make and will entertain for hours!
Indoor Kids Activity
Oh SLIME. Me and this stuff have a love hate/relationship. My kids love it though, so I’ve learned to accept it.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make fluffy slime, this recipe is seriously the best ever! We love it because it only takes 3 ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to make. The kids love helping me make it and it entertains them for hours! It is so soft and squishy!
During our Spring break last week it was cold and rainy, so this was the perfect indoor activity for my kids to do. It holds together more which is great! My kids like this fluffy slime better than my slime recipe and glitter slime because it can stretch further and the consistency is perfect although my butter slime is still smoothest of of them all!
Fluffy Slime Ingredients
For this slime you only need 3 simple ingredients (that you can probably find around your home). I love that this fluffy slime is made without borax. You can also add any color you’d like (or even mix them).
- 1 (4-ounce) bottle Elmer’s white school glue
- 2 Tablespoons multi purpose contact lenses solution
- 1 – 2 cups shaving cream
- Food coloring, optional
How To Make Fluffy Slime
- Combine. To get started place the glue in a plastic bowl. If you’re adding food coloring, add it now. Once it is your desired color add the saline solution and mix until combined.
- Stir. Then stir in 1-2 cups of shaving cream. The more you add the thicker it will be. The less you add the slimier it will be. We usually end up adding about 1 1/2 cups. Stir until you can no longer stir (this should take several minutes).
- Kneed. Next you’ll kneed it with your hands. It will be sticky at first, but keep moving it with your hands until it is no longer sticky and is the right consistency.
- Play. Get your hands in there and have some fun!
Mixing 2 colors
We made our first batch of fluffy slime pink and then the next one purple.
To make this fluffy slime with more than one color, simply make another batch and then lay them right next to each other. Then stretch it out and twist it together so the colors swirl together. It will end up looking something like this.

This was my first time making slime, so I appreciate how easy your recipe and your instructions are! Perfect consistency. Love it!!!
Yay! So glad it was a hit :)
Quick question, what will the slime like, turn into when you’ve kept it for a few weeks? But really good recipe though
Hi Bella – it will stay firm in an airtight container for about a week. After that, it will most likely lose it’s shape.
You make this look easier than it really is :) but I love slime so much so it will do NEVER STOP MAKING RECIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
What solution needs to be added?
Contact saline solution :) Or you can also use liquid laundry detergent instead
how do we make it less sticky ?
Keep kneeding it really fast for a few minutes. You may need to wash your hands and then start kneeding again. Once it’s completely mixed it won’t be sticky.
Hi! Quick question. Can I mix glitter and other things into this slime?
Sure! We also love this glitter slime recipe: https://theinspirationboard.com/glitter-slime/
it is so good
I’m so glad you liked it!
Do you have a fluffy Slime without glue
I’m sorry, I do not.
Works awesome! Only advice, try to find shaving cream that is unscented lol. The house smells like a man shaved for hours :D
So glad it worked great for you! I’ll update the recipe to unscented shaving cream ;)
Turned out perfectly! Used Cra Z Art white glue.
do you know if it come out of a carpet???
Vinegar and water should get slime out of carpets.
How do you store this slime or do you throw it out when you are done playing with it?
