Product Information

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. 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. So first of all with any and all of our slime recipes you always need parental supervision while they’re experimenting, please refer to our safety disclaimer.

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! We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here! Slime is an excellent chemistry demonstration, and kids love it too! 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.

What can I do to make my butter slime soft again?

Slime is called a Non-Newtonian fluid because it’s a bit of both! Experiment with making the slime more or less viscous with varying amounts of foam beads. Can you change the density? HOW TO ADD CLAY TO SLIME STEP 5: Mix in 1 tbsp saline solution and stir until slime forms and pulls away from sides of bowl. Have you tried fluffy slime yet? This fluffy slime is really fun to play with! See how we turned it into unicorn fluffy slime.

We hope you love this butter slime recipe as much as we do! You can also substitute the clay and add some cornstarch in for a similar consistency. We would recommend about 2-4 tablespoons of cornstarch. The glue is a polymer of long, repeating, and identical strands or molecules. These molecules with flow past one another and keep the glue liquid. Until…You may notice the mixture starting to solidify a little, but 1 tablespoon likely won’t be enough to fully activate your slime. You’ll probably end up needing somewhere between 1 tablespoon and 1 ½ tablespoons. The key is to use only so much, depending on how soft the clay is! The denser the clay, like our clay below, the less you want to use. A softer clay will require you to use more. Feel free to experiment with the consistency you like the most. 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. Get your muscles ready for this one! Mixing this will take a few minutes, so don’t get discouraged that it doesn’t happen immediately.

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. Note: the clay in butter slime will make it harden faster than regular slime. Ingredients Needed to Make Butter Slime 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. Mixtures, substances, polymers, cross-linking, states of matter, elasticity, and viscosity are just a few science concepts that can be explored with homemade slime!No, you don’t need shaving cream to make butter slime. Shaving cream adds a bit of a foamy texture to your slime, but the foam only lasts for a few hours. The slime recipe you use depends on what slime activator you have. Do you have borax powder, liquid starch or saline solution? 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. 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.

If you notice any skin irritation, discontinue use immediately. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while making and playing with the slime. 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. We tested many different recipes for butter slime and found most of them to be not that stretchy. We actually tested about 10 different recipe variations before we were finally happy with this butter slime recipe. If you store it in a plastic zip bag and squish out all the air before sealing it, the slime should stay soft for about 4 or 5 days before it firms up a bit. After that, it’s still squishy and fun to play with, but it won’t be as soft and stretchy.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. You did it! Your clay slime recipe is now ready to play with. We love making handprints in ours. Soft butter slime is so squishy and relaxing to play with too.
