How to Make Fluffy Easter Slime

Making fluffy slime is one of the easiest slime recipes ever! Truly, if you can measure and stir, you can make slime! It’s simple.

If you want, you can even have the kids help you (if you aren’t trying to keep it as an Easter surprise).

First, mix together one part shaving cream with one part glue. The amount you should use depends on how much finished product you want, so just stick to a 1:1 ratio.

Next, add your food coloring. A little goes a long way here! Don’t make it super-saturated, as that’s when a bit of staining can start to happen.

For Easter slime, I like to stick with soft pastels: light orange, soft pink, baby blue, mint green, and pastel purple are a few ideas for you.

If you want to do multiple colors, you’ll need to make the slime base in different containers, too.

Next, add your starch or contact solution a little at a time. Stir the slime together. Keep adding your starch or contact lens solution until the slime is no longer sticky.

If you add too much starch, your slime will get stringy and won’t be fun to play with. So make sure you only add it a little bit at a time.

Once the slime forms, stretch and pull it until all stickiness is gone and the slime is bonded. This is where your kids can come in handy and help!

Pro Tip: Want scented slime? Add a drop of lavender essential oil for a floral springtime twist!

Fun Ways to Play with Easter Slime

Let the kids play at this point. Here are a few ideas:

Practice Filling Egg – Give them the Easter eggs and let them fill them up with Easter fluffy slime.
Make Shapes – Make Easter egg shapes from your slime, or turn the fluffy slime into little chicks or flowers!
Sensory Play – Slime is great for sensory play, so allow your child to explore the texture and let their imagination run wild!

Kids love this version of slime because it is stretchy and squishy. It doesn’t spread as much as other slimes, which makes it easier to clean up, too!

How to Store Slime

To keep the slime fresh and ready to be played with over and over, keep it stored in an airtight container. I like to separate each color into its own container (if they aren’t already mixed together by my kids!)
