Hey there, slime enthusiasts! If you love slime as much as we do at Yolo Attitude, then you’re in for a treat. Today, we’re diving into the world of butter slime – a soft, spreadable, and oh-so-satisfying version of slime that’s perfect for squishing, stretching, and sculpting. Ready to get your hands gooey? Let’s make some butter slime!

What You’ll Need

Before we start, let’s gather our slime-making essentials. Here’s what you’ll need:

• White glue (4 ounces)

• Shaving cream (optional for fluffiness)

• Cornstarch (2 tablespoons)

• Lotion (1-2 pumps, for stretchiness)

• Contact lens solution (contains boric acid and sodium borate)

• Baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)

• Soft clay (ours is the ultimate!)

• Food coloring (optional for fun colors)

• Mixing bowl and spoon

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Base Slime

1. Pour the Glue: Start by pouring the white glue into your mixing bowl. If you want your butter slime to be extra fluffy, add a generous squirt of shaving cream at this stage.

2. Add Baking Soda: Sprinkle in the baking soda and mix well. This helps to firm up the slime slightly.

3. Add Lotion: Pump in 1-2 squirts of lotion. This step makes your slime more stretchy and fun to play with.

4. Mix in Food Coloring: If you want your slime to be a specific color, add a few drops of food coloring now and mix until you achieve your desired shade.

Step 2: Activate the Slime

1. Add Contact Lens Solution: Slowly add the contact lens solution, one tablespoon at a time, while stirring. The slime will start to come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Keep adding the solution until the slime reaches a stretchy but not sticky consistency.

Step 3: Add the Butter

1. Add Cornstarch: Sprinkle the cornstarch over your slime and knead it in. This gives your slime a thicker, more buttery texture.

2. Mix in the Clay: Grab your soft clay and flatten it out a bit. Place the slime on top of the clay and start folding and kneading them together. This step takes a bit of time, but keep mixing until the clay is fully incorporated and your slime is smooth and buttery.

Step 4: Play and Store

1. Play Time: Your butter slime is ready! Stretch it, spread it, and enjoy the unique texture. Butter slime is perfect for molding and playing with because it holds its shape so well.

2. Store Properly: When you’re done, store your butter slime in an airtight container to keep it fresh and stretchy. If it starts to dry out, you can add a little more lotion to bring it back to life.

Tips and Tricks

• Experiment with Colors: Try mixing different colors of clay and slime for a marbled effect.

• Scented Slime: Add a drop of your favorite essential oil for a nice fragrance.

• Customize Your Texture: Adjust the amount of clay and cornstarch to find your perfect butter slime consistency.

And there you have it – your very own butter slime! This fun, squishy craft is perfect for a rainy day, a playdate, or just because. We hope you have a blast making and playing with your butter slime.
