Baking Soda Snow Slime
A delightful and engaging activity for all ages, creating a fluffy, stretchy slime that resembles freshly fallen snow.
Ingredients
Slime Base
- 1 cup white school glue
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon saline solution (contact lens solution works too)
- 2 cups shaving cream (for snow texture)
- optional glitter or food coloring for customization
Tools
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 spoon or spatula
- 1 airtight container for storage
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue with 1/2 cup of water.
- Stir well until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
Mixing
- Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the glue mixture.
- Mix thoroughly until the baking soda is fully integrated, giving the slime a thicker texture.
- Fold in 2 cups of shaving cream to the mixture.
- The more you fold, the fluffier it becomes!
Activation
- Gradually add in 1 tablespoon of saline solution while stirring.
- You’ll notice the slime begin to form. It should start pulling away from the bowl and become less sticky.
Customization
- If you want to add color or glitter, now is the perfect time!
- Add a few drops of food coloring and mix until you achieve your desired shade.
Finishing Touch
- Once mixed, knead the slime with your hands for a minute to enhance its texture.
- Store your completed slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
Notes
Add a few drops of essential oil for scent, mix different colors for a layered effect, or substitute shaving cream with a lightweight whipped cream for a denser slime. Always keep your slime in an airtight container.
