The Best Easy Slime Recipe for Kids: Borax-Free, Fluffy, and More DIY Slimes

Submitted by Ally Noel on Tue, 02/25/2025 - 9:00am

Slime, glorious slime! It's so easy to make at home, and you can put a personal spin on it! Photo by Jody Mercier

As a child of the 80s, slime ranks pretty high in my archive of childhood memories. It’s Ghostbusters, Nickelodeon, and slime runs. Everything old is fun again, and the slime of today is even cooler! You can make it in the comfort of your own home with a few simple, inexpensive ingredients. We’ve got 5 tried and tested easy recipes for slime here, plus a list of our favorite slime-making kits, if that’s more your jam.

Need more hands-on science experiments and activities you can do at home? Check out Mommy Poppins Guide to STEM Activities, which has everything from solar ovens to DIY rock candy to oobleck (a less messy but more gooey slime alternative!).
