Fluffy Slime Stretch and Squish Play

White school glue (1 cup)

Shaving cream (3 cups)

Contact lens solution containing boric acid

Food coloring (optional)

A large mixing bowl

Cookie cutters (optional)

Pour one cup of white glue into a large bowl.

Add three cups of shaving cream and fold gently until blended.

Stir in food coloring if you want a colorful batch.

Add contact lens solution one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the slime pulls cleanly away from the bowl.

Knead with your hands until it's smooth, stretchy, and no longer tacky.

Hand the slime to your child and show them how to stretch it s-l-o-w-l-y, fold it, and poke it.

Let them go wild — pulling, twisting, flattening, and pressing shapes into it.

The contact lens solution MUST contain boric acid — check the label. Without it, the slime won't form.

Add solution gradually. Too much makes the slime rubbery and stiff rather than fluffy.

This is NOT taste-safe. Save it for kids who have moved past putting things in their mouths.

Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days of repeated play. It won't last as long as regular slime because the shaving cream deflates.

The act of kneading slime is genuinely calming. Many occupational therapists use it as a self-regulation tool.
