Here’s how to make your own stretchy slime using only three ingredients which you are likely to have at home. Many of the American slime recipes include borax which is hard to find in the UK.  This recipe is skin-friendly so great for little hands. Have fun getting messy!

You will need:

  • Cornflour
  • Shaving foam
  • Food colouring

  • Add some cornflour into a container. The cornflour feels soft and fluffy for little hands.
  • Have fun squirting in shaving foam and mixing together.
  • Add some food colouring mixed with a little water (we used about 100ml of water) and mix up to create a wonderfully stretchy goop.
  • Add more cornflour to get a stretchy play dough consistency or more water and shaving foam to get a more oozy slime.
