How to Make Birthday Cake Slime
1. Combine: Mix white glue and shaving cream in a bowl. The amount of shaving cream doesn’t have to be exact, so don’t stress about precise measurements here.
2. Add volume: Pour in some foaming hand wash and mix until it gets super fluffy and light. You’ll notice it starts to look airy, like whipped cream.
3. Color it: Mix in your brown acrylic paint until the mixture resembles the color of chocolate frosting. Start with a little, and add more as needed to get the color just right.
4. Get stretchier: Stir in cornstarch (or a pinch of body lotion) to help the slime stretch better. Both of these make the texture better for squishing and pulling.
5. Add beads: Pour in a small amount of the multi-colored foam beads. You don’t need a lot, as these are just meant to be the sprinkles.
6. Add scent: Add a few drops of chocolate fragrance oil. This is what will make your slime smell just like a yummy chocolate cake. While the slime smells great, make sure it is not tasted!
7. Activate it: Slowly mix in your contact lens solution one spoonful at a time. Keep stirring until the slime pulls away from the bowl.
8. Knead: Once it’s mixed, take it out and knead it with your hands. This part takes a few minutes, but soon you’ll have a stretchy, non-sticky slime.
Benefits of Making Slime
- Hands-on bonding: It’s an activity you can enjoy with your child.
- Sensory learning: Kids use multiple senses while stretching, squeezing, and adding textures.
- Encourages creativity: Making slime lets kids experiment with color, scent, and texture combinations.
