By Macaroni KID January 18, 2024

We all know how much kids love slime. This slime is a little different as it comes out nice and fluffy. Use any colour of food colouring your kids like, then add some winter-themed confetti or beads for seasonal fun — without the freezing temperatures.

Here's how to make puffy winter slime:

Puffy Winter Slime

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup white glue
  • 3-4 cups unscented shaving cream
  • Food coloring
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp saline contact solution 
  • Winter-themed confetti, beads, glitter, etc.

Instructions:

  1. Combine 1/2 cup white glue and 3 to 4 cups shaving cream in a large bowl. Mix well. 
  2. Add a few drops of food colouring. Stir to mix in the color.
  3. Stir in 1/4 tsp baking soda.
  4. Add 1 Tbsp. saline contact solution a little at a time while mixing. Keep adding the contact solution and mixing until the slime becomes a ball and is less sticky. If it is too sticky, add a tiny bit of contact solution at a time until it isn't sticky.
  5. Stir in winter-themed add-ins like confetti, beads, and/or glitter.
  6. Repeat these steps to make other colours.
