We are taking a break from the food for a day to create a little kitchen fun with homemade slime. If you have never made slime, you have been missing out on a ton of homemade fun! We are going to give you step-by-step instructions on how to make the Ultimate Slime Recipe with two versions: Fluffy and Super-Stretchy.

Bonus: Both of these slime recipes are created with products developed for people with sensitive skin. You see, members of our family, including my youngest, suffer from skin allergies and eczema. I’ve found that other types of slime my daughter has played with have caused reactions. This one did not!

*If your child suffers from serious skin allergies, please consult a doctor and use your best judgment before trying these recipes. We can only share with you our experience and cannot guarantee the reaction your child may have.

One of the ways we help fight our family's skin is by usingall® free clear laundry detergent. Available in both all® free clear Liquid Detergent and all® free clear Mighty Pacs®, this detergent is 100% free of perfumes and dyes. Plus it is hypoallergenic and removes 99% of household allergens in the laundry.

And it came in very handy in cleaning up all of our laundry messes after this project. Bonus: It is the #1 Recommended Detergent by Dermatologists, Allergists, and Pediatricians for sensitive skin.

Pick up all® free clear laundry detergent at your local Target, along with everything else needed to make this fun indoor activity.

Ultimate Slime #1 - Glitter Cloud Fluffy Slime

This slime recipe was my favorite. It looks like a big ball of marshmallow fluff, but without the icky-sticky. We made a couple of batches of this one. One with pink glitter hearts and one with blue glitter stars. We are all about the pretty glitter in our house.

Supply List for Fluffy Slime:

• White school glue (non-toxic)
• Water
• White fluffy shaving cream (sensitive skin formula, unscented preferred)
• Glitter (optional)
• Liquid dish soap (clear, sensitive formula preferred)
• Saline solution (sensitive eyes formula)

Exact amounts can be found at the bottom of this post.

How to Make Fluffy Slime Step-by-Step:

• In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the glue and water until smooth.
• Fold in the shaving cream and glitter.
• Slowly stir in the dish soap.
• Add the saline solution and stir quickly.
• Stir until the slime pulls together and pulls aways from the edges of the bowl.
• Gather the fluffy slime in your hands and knead it until it firms up.
• Add more saline solution if needed.

I have to admit, I had a lot more fun making slime than I thought I would. Such a fun activity with the kids that doesn’t involve the computer or a gadget, right?

Here are more tips from us to you on getting that perfect slime you are looking for:

• Use warm water, it helps the ingredients come together better.
• Don't use very much food coloring. Just a little will give it a tint without staining your hands.
• Do not combine the ingredients out of order, especially the saline solution.
• To keep the slime fresh, store in an air-tight plastic container when not in use.
• Feel free to experiment with different amounts.
• There will be variations in the outcome of the slime based on the specific products you use.

Making your own slime is perfect for:

• Rainy + snowy days
• Spring break + Fall Break activity
• Sensory play idea
• Science experiments
• Birthday parties and sleepovers
• Anytime your kids say “I’m bored.”

So grab your ingredients, glue and glitter and make these two Ultimate Slime Recipes with your family. They will love it, and who knows, maybe you will, too.
