Updated July 2025

We don’t know about you, but many slime recipes have been tried and tweaked in our households over the years. And our fluffy slime recipe is one of our most popular posts!

We suspect that many of your kids are just as crazy as ours are about making all kinds of slime.

If you’re looking for some extra FUN slime recipes, here are some variations you might enjoy.

All of these slime recipes have the same basic ingredients—shaving cream, glue, contact solution. One of them is a no-borax slime, the others have small amounts of borax. What makes them fun and different are the themes, colors, sprinkles, sparkles, and extra fluffiness.

And if your kids are like ours, they’ll probably want to try all five!
