Hello and welcome to Landeelu.com! So glad you’re here!
I’m guessing that since you landed on this post either you or someone in your house has joined the slime obsession that is sweeping the nation! My daughter learned how to make slime a few months ago and she has made some almost every day since! She has tried all different kinds of slime but her favorite by far is FLUFFY SLIME. Have you heard of fluffy slime? It only needs three ingredients (plus food coloring if you want) and it’s really easy. No wonder it’s her favorite! If you want to learn how to make slime too, see below! We have step by step instructions and tips for you.
The three ingredients for fluffy slime are (may contain affiliate links):
It’s hard to come up with exact measurements (and who wants to measure things out anyway?) for slime and the nice part is, you don’t have to! You can tinker with it until you get it right so don’t fret!
HOW TO MAKE SLIME (FLUFFY SLIME):
- Pour enough glue into the bottom of a container to cover the bottom. Make the glue about 1/4 inch deep.
- Add food coloring if desired. For this we put in 2 drops blue, 2 drops red.
- Mix food coloring into glue.
- Add about 1.5x as much shaving cream as glue (again, this is not an exact science so don’t worry!)
- Mix together the glue and shaving cream.
6. Add contact solution about 1 Tablespoon at a time and mix.
7. Keep adding a little more contact solution and mixing until your slime begins forming into a ball-like form as you mix. It will begin coming off the sides of your container and sticking together.
8. Put slime on flat surface and begin working it with your hands. If it is too sticky, add more contact solution and knead it in.
9. If it’s too “watery” add some more shaving cream and knead it in. (Steps 8 + 9 may not be necessary! Just add those things if you need to!)
10. Stretch, squeeze and play with your new slime!

I know how to make slime
Its not about you knowing how to make it, if you do know then why did you come here and she putted it out here for people who don’t know this for them to know it or try it.
Yah I didn’t know how to make it
Yah I didn’t know how to make it
You might know how but some of us don’t
I think she meant to say….know i know how to make slime..literally
I don’t think 🤔 so
Y’all are crazy. It was probably a very young person who wrote that! This is a kid’s craft! Kids might comment for goodness’ sake.
u might be a kid!!!
Always someone who has to ruin a comment page…. just be nice. It always amazes me…… just have fun making the slim…..
Then why are u looking on here if you know how to make it eh
This recipe REALY does work. It makes perfectly good fluffy slime. You should try it !?
What type of contact solution? Is it just Saline or something else?
Just regular contact solution
The contact solution works as an activator without baking soda?
excuse me it works better than yours
is it possible to substitute the shaving foam with shaving gel?? I love your blog btw :))))) xx
Hi Kathryn! I don’t think shave gel would work the same. You really need the foam to create some volume with the glue! But if you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
Unfortunately it didn’t turn out very well. Wasted a lot of slime :((((( I’ve definitely learned to use shaving foam now :))))
Good to know, thank you! Sorry you had to do all the experimenting for the rest of us!
This slime was sooooooooooooo cool!!!????
I use shaving cream it works fine
I tried to make slime and it just went watery I don’t know what happened plz help! Xx
Can i ise pva glue instead
I used shaving gel i had to beet it a little more but it worked very well 1 happy daughter. I used 150 ml glue to200ml of shaving gell with optrex multi action eye wash. Very cheap £3.50 for 100ml. If it starts to go sticky after playing with it add few drops more of they eye soloution to bring it back.
I would love to do this with my class! But is there any substitution for the constant lens solution?!
There is borax or laundry detergent
Don’t use borax it can badly burn you.
Borax that is used for laundry doesn’t burn
I made slime with borax and i let mine dissolve and i didnt get burned and i am 10
Cierra, I’m ten too and I use borax everyday and I’ve never gotten burned and I’ve been working with borax since I was six
It doesn’t burn its powder
Laundry detergent is the one you want to avoid. I made batches and batches of slime for my l/o and we ended up getting steriod cream for the burns on her skin. They were red raised and blotchy and literally burning her. Not all I’m sure causes it but stay away from GAIN laundry detergent with slime!!
Very cool and cute , but not as cute as you , good job & presentation !
This is a silly question but….What can you do with it? Do you use it like Play Doe or Silly Puddy? How long does it last? How do you store it? Do you just manipulate it with your hands? It must have a calming effect. Good for really active kids.
Exactly! You just stretch it, squish it, twist it and play with it like Silly Putty. We just store it in ziplock baggies or small plastic food containers. I think it will last a good couple of weeks. Depends on how much it is played with! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi! Could you use glitter glue instead of just white glue?
Thanks!
Yes! It works the same but might look slightly different because of the sparkles but it should still make great slime for you!
You can use holographic glue aswell
Can you substitute laundry detergent for contact solution?
yup
as long as the contact solution has boric acid in it, it should work. 😀
My sitter and my kids made this the other day and love it! I do have a question though… Since it’s been a couple days it has now gotten very thick. What can we add to it to thin it back out?
I think my daughter has added warm water to some of her older slime to make it a little thinner. She also says playing with it a lot after adding the water helps too! Make sure you store it in an airtight container to make it last as long as possible!
I made slime with shampoo, foaming shave cream and salt, but it seems to be too fluffy, how can I fix it to make it more slime – like than it is?
We used borax which didn’t dissolve well with the water. So added contact solution which didn’t work. Used shaving gel instead of foam because didn’t know.
It is very soft with no ability to real stick together like proper slime. Can we doing anything to it? Kids are getting so discouraged.
Hello didn’t work for me I used everything in this. I used PVA Glue,shaving foam and contact solutions. Really upset. Can u help me
Hi Emily. Bummer it didn’t work! Did you watch the FB Live video at the end of the post? Maybe seeing it done in a video might help with the consistencies and things that you are looking for. I hope you get it to work!
Yes I agree I did it and it didn’t work. I’m very disappointed I did everything you said but mine turned into a shaving cream mess!!
Hi Emily. You should check to see if the contact solution has boric acid in it. Some don’t have it and you need solution with boric acid to make it work.
awesome. thank you for adding video. this makes me easy to understand …
Thank you so much for posting this blog and especially the video. My sons (age 12 and 10) had so much fun making slime following your instructions. We really appreciate you spending the time to share this. We live in Sydney, Australia. Thought your daughter might be pleased to hear that her instructions have reached all,the way “down under”.
Do you think adding baby oil after will make it last longer?
Is there a particular contact lens solution needed for activation of the slime?
We used PVA glue, shaving foam and ‘Tesco All-in-One contact lens solution’ (Ingredients:
Disodium Edetate 0.025, Polyhexanide 0.0002%, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hypromellose, Poloxamer, Sodium & Potassium Chloride in isotonic buffered solution) and nothing happened! We got a foaming mixture but no polymer ball. V disappointed daughter!
Looked at other posts and some use a saline solution (do we just need the contact lens cleaning solution i.e. saline?)
Many thanks,
Lisa and Katie.
We just use the store brand “multi-purpose solution” that people use to just store their contacts in. I’m not sure if what you used is the same or not. Maybe just try a regular saline solution and see if you get different results? Slime is a science experiment! 🙂
I was going to ask the same question bc the same thing happened to us. This is the second time I’ve tried to make slime with my daughter (this recipe and another one I found online) and both were FAILS! Not sure what I’m doing wrong, I’m great at following food recipes lol!
Where do you get a big tub of pva glue? I live in south Australia and it all seems expensive.
Hi,
I was wondering what the shaving foam does to the slime – is it a simple change in texture, or is there some properties change to the material too?
Any response would be appreciated. Thanks!
The shaving foam changes the entire texture of the slime. Before adding the shaving cream, the slime is very wet and “slimy” and after adding the foam it increases in volume and becomes a bit dryer to the touch. It’s a crazy science experiment! Good luck!
That is very cool i will try it!
That is very cool i will try it! thanks
How do you get it to the point of it not being a complete sticky mess to where my daughter can’t play with it…it’s a disaster. We did it exactly like the directions and all it turned to be was a sticky stringy mess. Please help! My daughter has been dying to make slime together and we just can’t seem to make it work.
Make sure you choose a contact solution that has boric acid in it. I didn’t know this the first time we tried it and it didn’t work. The more solution you add, the less sticky it will be, but go slow so you don’t overdo it.
i love making slime
Hey, I wanted to ask if I can put shaving FOAM instead of shaving Cream??
I think that’s the same thing. Just don’t use shaving gel!
Ok thanks
Worked great
You make fluffy slime so good love you so much.
Can you use clear glue?
Hi Payton! Yes you can use clear glue! It will just be a little bit “shinier” than what it looks like with the white glue. Have fun!
This recipe works great it is the best that has worked for me!!!!!!
