How To Make Candy Cane Fluffy Slime

What You’ll Need

To make this candy cane fluffy slime, you’ll need a handful of simple ingredients, many of which you might already have at home:

• 1/2 cup white school glue (Elmer’s School glue works great!)
• 3 generous cups of foam shaving cream
• 1 tablespoon contact solution (we used Target’s Up & Up brand)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• Red food coloring for that red and white stipe candy cane look! I used gel food coloring for a more vibrant red.
• Peppermint extract (optional) for a delicious holiday scent!
• Mixing bowl and spoon.

Instructions

1. Add the Shaving Cream

Start by adding about 3 generous cups of shaving cream to a large mixing bowl. Go wild with it—this is what makes your slime so fluffy! Want it even fluffier? Add more later if you like.

2. Add Color (Optional)

For that classic red and white candy cane stripe vibe, this is where you add the red food coloring. A few drops of red food coloring will give it that perfect festive touch. Gently stir the color into the shaving cream until it’s blended.

3. Add the Glue

Next, pour in your 1/2 cup of white glue. Stir it well with the shaving cream until everything is combined. It’s still going to be light and puffy at this stage, which is exactly what we want.

4. Baking Soda Time

Now, sprinkle in the 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. This helps firm up the slime and keeps it from being a sticky mess. Stir it into the mixture evenly.

5. Add the Activator

Slowly pour in 1 tablespoon of contact solution. Start stirring, and you’ll see the slime start to pull away from the sides of the bowl. It’ll start to look like actual slime instead of a pile of fluff.

6. Knead the Slime

Now for the fun part—time to get your hands in there! Grab the slime and start kneading it. At first, it’ll be sticky, but keep going. The more you knead, the stretchier and less sticky it becomes. If it’s still too sticky after a bit, add a few drops of contact solution until it’s just right.

Pro Tip: Rub a little contact solution on your hands before kneading to help keep it from sticking to your fingers!

How to Store Your Fluffy Candy Cane Slime

Once you’ve got your perfect candy cane fluffy christmas slime, you’ll want to store it right so it doesn’t dry out. Pop it into an airtight container—something like a zip-top bag or a glass jar works well. It’ll keep fresh for a couple of weeks if stored properly.

One little note—fluffy slime doesn’t stay fluffy forever. After about a day, the shaving cream will start to lose its puff. Don’t worry though, it’ll still be stretchy and fun to play with!
