While the web is loaded with DIY slime recipes of all sorts, I hope to save you some time and a big mess with this tried and true recipe for an easy DIY fluffy slime that doesn’t stick.
This slime is pretty much made of the same ingredients as the basic slime I shared a few weeks ago, with the addition of one ingredient. I’ve made this with my children and played with it myself.
This is my favorite way to make slime because it is a great consistency that will not leave you with a sticky mess.
Why Make DIY Fluffy Slime with Kids
- Sensory play: Playing with slime provides a unique sensory experience that can engage kids’ curiosity and creativity.
- Science experiment: Kids can learn about the properties of different materials and how they react when mixed.
- Fine motor skills: Playing with slime can help kids develop their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as they stretch, twist, and shape the slime.
- Stress relief: The tactile experience of playing with slime has a calming effect, which can help kids cope with stress.
