- 1 cup Elmer’s PVA Glue
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Food Color
- Slime activator – this can be Saline Solution (contact lens solution) or 1/2 a tsp of borax mixed in water. If using borax please note that you should NOT add all the borax mixture in. Just part of it. – Contact Solution/Saline.. Approximately 5 teaspoons.

Add in 3 cups of shaving cream.
Slowly add in your contact lens solution 1 teaspoon at a time. Mix the shaving cream between each teaspoon of contact lens solution (or borax liquid)
Once your slime takes on a good texture, knead it with your hands. The more you play with it the more soft and the less sticky it will become. The kids were really excited to see how to make slime with shaving cream.
It was filled with many sensory feelings and although their hands smelled like shaving cream, they didn’t care. You could add essential oils to minimize the smell of the shaving cream.
