Then if you’re still ready to make it, stick around because I’ll share the recipe at the end of this post.

wipe out your containers with a paper towel or baby wipe…don’t wash the glue mixture down your sink!

Let’s Make It Together!

You Will Need:

1 tsp Borax
4oz. School Glue
1 tbs Corn Starch
1/2cup Shaving Cream
Water – start with 1/4 cup and add more if needed
Food Coloring (optional – it stays more fluffy if you leave out the food coloring)

Pour glue into a medium sized bowl

Add in shaving cream

Add water and Borax mixture (I let the Borax dissolve in the water before pouring it in the shaving cream mixture)

Add corn starch

Mix together – it will start off really wet and slimy

Add food coloring …but wear gloves!! Otherwise, your hands will end up like mine 🙁

Have fun playing around!
