This butter slime will be the most stretchy when you first make it. If it sits out too long the clay will start making it harder, so when it’s not in use we recommend sealing in an air tight container to preserve it.

This one is made with clay, daiso clay to be specific. She made it with model magic as well last year and enjoyed that but this is the “new thing” that kids are asking for. There is no borax needed to make this so it is safer than others. Clay slime Slime should not be placed in the mouth. Always wash hands before and after playing with the slime. Slime is a science experiment and should be made and played with in moderation. Do not allow children to make their own slime and do not play with slime for an extended period of time. This slime is really easy to make and leaves very little mess on your hands since you don’t have to use any food coloring. We like to use colored Model Magic for this reason. You won’t end up with any stained hands from having to color your glue with food coloring.If you use a different brand of glue it’s possible it will still work, but we can’t guarantee that your slime will work properly with the measurements used in our recipe. What type of slime activator do you recommend? Keep your butter slime stored in an air tight container or bag and it will last at least 1 week. We like to store in a Ziploc bag so we can press out all of the air from the bag. Glue: We prefer Elmer’s regular white glue for most of our slime recipes because it is quality PVA glue. Dollar store glue or other brands of glue may not work as well. We also like to stay away from Elmer’s Glue All or natural brands. What’s cool about this slime? First, it stays nice and stretchy for a lot longer. Second, it’s a bit moldable. Third, it has a smooth, rich, and silky feeling texture!

Some butter slime recipes call for shaving cream, but this one is made with Model Magic and lotion. This will yield a super stretchy clay slime that doesn’t lose its volume after a few days like shaving cream slime inevitably does. We always recommend using Elmer’s School Glue to make slime. It works consistently to make great slime, and we know we’ll get the results we want. Is clay slime butter slime? Yes, it’s the addition of clay to the basic slime recipe that makes for a fun butter slime. Read on to find out what clay to use and how to make clay slime step by step. From all the recipes we tested, butter slime is not very stretchy. We’ve added in water, baby oil and baby lotion to help make it stretchier. If you do not want it to be stretchy and want it to be more of a moldable substance you can skip these ingredients. Safety tips: Adults only should make the slime and handle all chemicals. Do not substitute any ingredients in our slime recipes. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while playing with the slime. Always wash hands before and after use. If you notice any skin irritation discontinue use immediately. See the bottom of the post for more safety precautions.The reason it’s not that stretchy is from the Model Magic– so adding lotion and oil help to make the Model Magic stretchier and more pliable. Tip: We like to buy the large gallon-size of Elmer’s Glue since it’s the most economical. It’s easy to pour and measure out your glue with measuring cups and you can use it to make lots of batches of slime! Can you use any clay for slime? There are several types of clay you can use. We have chosen to use the Crayola Model Magic clay as it’s readily available. Mixtures, substances, polymers, cross-linking, states of matter, elasticity, and viscosity are just a few science concepts that can be explored with homemade slime!

The slime recipe you use depends on what slime activator you have. Do you have borax powder, liquid starch or saline solution? Try placing the butter slime in a bowl of hot water and letting it sit for a few minutes. Once the water temperature cools down enough to touch, knead the slime while it’s in the water. This will help to make the slime more stretchy and soft again. Add a little amount of clay (as pictured below) and fold over your slime and knead it into the slime. Keep kneading until your slime is colored and the clay is thoroughly mixed. Butter slime only requires one extra ingredient and can be made using any of our three basic slime recipes. I will tell you which is my favorite below because we experimented with all three of them to find out which makes the best butter slime!You might even think it won’t work initially, but keep kneading your slime, and it will come together for you! If you notice any skin irritation, discontinue use immediately. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while making and playing with the slime. This is exactly how much you will need with the Target Sensitive Eyes brand, but other brands may differ slightly! Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms, the tangled molecule strands are much like a clump of spaghetti! Is slime a liquid or solid?
