Who knew that it was even possible to make slime using shaving cream? Until this craft activity, I had no idea! But once we made this Fluffy Shaving Cream Slime Recipe one time, I can promise you it’s the only slime recipe that we’re going to be making over and over again.

First off, it’s not sticky like some other slime recipes can be. And when it says “fluffy” in the name, it means it. It’s got almost a poofy-type consistency that makes you just want to squeeze and smash it over and over again.

What I really liked about this recipe is that my arm didn’t get super tired from stirring and it formed together really easily. We even made a second batch and I was able to be pretty hands-off for the most part because it’s just that simple to make.

If you’re looking for a slime recipe that won’t leave you feeling stressed, this Shaving Cream Slime recipe is the one for you. It feels totally different than any other slime recipe out there so your kids are going to love it as well!

How to make Fluffy Slime with Borax

First, start by pouring a ½ cup of hot water into a small bowl and mixing in ½ tablespoon of Borax. Stirring it until the Borax is dissolved and then set this bowl aside.

Next, in a measuring cup, add a drop or two of food coloring to a ½ cup of white school glue, mix it well to combine the color. Then pour the colored glue into a large mixing bowl.

Add ¼ cup of water to the mixing bowl with the glue and stir lightly for a few seconds, do not worry about combining the ingredients completely.

Once the mixture is combined, pour in 2 tablespoons of contact lens cleaning solution into the bowl with the glue and water.
