Getting Over the Mess of Slime!
We’re big fans of slime in our house. And while I know that slime can be messy, it’s also such a great sensory and calm down tool for us.
Plus, I discovered that slime can be easily cleaned up off of clothes, the rug, and even hair with one simple ingredient – white vinegar! This made dealing with the mess a whole lot easier and we embrace it whole-heartedly!

Tips for Making This Shaving Cream Slime Recipe
Coloring. You can use liquid watercolors (like we did), or food coloring will work as well. We prefer liquid watercolors because they are non toxic and washable, and also come in much larger quantities than those small food coloring bottles!
Storage. Store in plastic container with lid and keep in mind that puffy slime will lose its puff, but can still be played with for up to several weeks if stored correctly!
Is you slime still too sticky? Just add and mix in more saline solution!
Did slime get on clothes, fabric, or hair? White vinegar to the rescue! Just soak affected area in water and vinegar, scrub, and the slime should dissolve easily!
