Butter Slime Recipe and Sensory Craft

White school glue (1/2 cup)

Soft air-dry clay (2 ounces — like Model Magic)

Contact lens solution with boric acid

Food coloring

Popsicle sticks

Cookie cutters

Pour glue into a bowl and add soft clay. Knead until combined.

Add coloring and mix until the shade is even.

Stir in contact lens solution one teaspoon at a time until the mixture pulls into a ball.

Knead with both hands until smooth and spreadable — this takes a few minutes of work.

Hand it over with a popsicle stick and show how it spreads like butter on a flat surface.

Let your child sculpt, fold, spread, and press shapes into it.

Compare it to regular slime — it holds shapes better and feels silkier.

The clay is what gives butter slime its unique spreadable texture. Without it, you just get regular slime.

Store in an airtight container and it lasts about a week before drying out.

This is excellent for kids who find regular slime too sticky — butter slime is less messy.

Challenge your child to make a butter slime "cake" by layering different colored batches.

Not taste-safe. This is for kids who don't put craft materials in their mouths.
