Hey guys
so we've all made play dough and if you
haven't made play dough before you
should go back and check out the blog
about how to make playdough and then
make playdough but we're not talking
about playdough today we're talking about
fluffy foamy slime. what's that
you've never heard of fluffy foamy slime?
it's slime but obviously fluffy and foamy
what it does involve are all things you
probably have in your classroom or at
home glue, baking soda, shaving cream,
foaming face wash, color if you'd like
and some contact or eye wash so let's get
started
I'm only going to be using a one bottle
of glue for a class of 20 I would
usually use six bottles of glue and I
know that sounds like a lot but this
stuff lasts forever
I'm talking you're going to get a month
of every day play out of it so go ahead
and invest but for today it's just for me
and for the crew we only need one bottle
dump it into a big bowl and also have
your kids help or you can just do it by
yourself because it's really fun and you do you really need
the entire bottle in there
no because that would take a really long
time and i do not have that kind of
patience despite being a preschool
teacher
alright said glue is in said bowl we're
going to go ahead and grab the baking
soda so when you do make this for
however many bottles of glue you use
you're going to use a half a teaspoon of
baking soda so I use one bottle of glue so
I'm going to use a half a teaspoon
so you're gonna go ahead and you're
going to add that straight in and it's
okay if you're not exact because you
know what you don't have to be alright
get your spoon out and start to mix and
you're going to mix it thoroughly
maybe sing a song
maybe not just mix now that it is all
mixed up you add some shaving cream
again here's the deal for every one
bottle of glue you add a half a cup of
shaving cream now keep in mind if this
stuff is going to be in your classroom a
long time
pick something that smells good because
you were going to smell it on the
children you're going too smell it on the
table it's just going to basically make
your entire classroom smell like
whatever shaving cream you pick so pick
one you like
because you're going to have to live
with it also the more shaving cream you add
the fluffier it gets so I added a full cup
for those that are keeping track at home
you're going to empty it into the bowl
you mix and you mix and you mix
at this time we're going to go ahead and you
would add whatever kind of color you
pick I thought I had food coloring at
home I did not so it's gonna be white
which is great considering look like a
big marshmallow but you're not going to
eat it because it smells like shaving
cream and that would be really weird
because it's made out of glue all right
now optional the foaming hand or face or
body wash and I learned this trick from
the crafty girls online and the cool
thing about them is one they have all
these kind of fun cooking recipes you
can do with your kids and two they all
wear the same clothes and they look
adorable because they're children so
thanks girls
I'm gonna use kind of a lot of this
because again much like the shaving
cream
the more you add the fluffy it gets
ten eleven twelve that's like good enough
mix
and you can see it's getting pretty
fluffy but it kind of looks just
basically like a fluff and you know what
that's not going to be fun to play with because you got to have it
come together which brings us to our
final ingredient contact solution eye wash
it's basically going to become borax now
here's the deal
the more you add this stuff the more
it's going to come together and it's
going to be hard so take it easy at
first
you can always add more later you don't
want to basically waste a bunch of glue
because you turned it into a rock so I'm
going to add a solid squeeze because i'm
only making one bottle but I've done
this a few times so and you start to mix
and things like as you mix your gonna be
able to immediately see it kind of
starts to pull away that's when you know
it's working and if it takes awhile to
pull away
go ahead and add another squirt all right and you're
gonna keep mixing until it starts to
completely come away from the bowl much
like slime if you've ever made slime you
know when it's that good consistency
when it starts to pull away
it's the same thing and only you
know fluffy involve me so it is pulling
away i'm going to give it one more
it's a feel thing and you know it
otherwise you'll find out the hard way
alright with it coming away from the bowl
you're going to start kneading it and
you're going to stretch it because the
more you play with it the more it comes
together so it might take a couple
minutes but it's gonna be a lot of fun
while you do it and you can also get out
all those stresses of the day and when
it starts to pull away from your hands
you know you are about done so with line
pretty much done we're going to do with
it you can do a lot of things with it
you can stretch it see how far it
stretches you can take it and turn it
into noodles
you can even now do the greatest thing in the whole wide world
here's the deal you are not going to do
this the first day you get your slime
out because then you kind of ruined your
slime this is a last day before the
slime is thrown away project you're
going to take it roll it into tiny
little balls you're going to give the
kids a straw
now here's the deal this is kind of
going to get gross because we're going
to basically be blowing bubbles into
your slime which is tons of fun but it
leads to lots of germs and lots of spit
everywhere so again do it on the last
day so you can just toss it otherwise
kinda gets really funky so insert and
watch the funny thing is like if you get
pink or purple then it kind of looks
like organs and then get a whole
discussion about body parts but as the
kids love doing this and almost becomes
like this competition of who can blow
the biggest bubble so it's definitely
worth checking it out and I just want to try
one more time and make hilarious noises
and the kids giggle so definitely do it
with them and you know it definitely
makes us for your classroom because
making play-doh making slime making fluffy
foamy slime is no small matter
