Most slime recipes use borax (here’s our borax slime recipe) as the activator. We buy our elmer’s glue by the gallon! You can also get clear glue for a clear slime, but it costs more, and fluffy slime ends up being white so you may as well go with the white glue.
Make sure it’s PVA glue (PVA stands for polyvinyl acetate) as you need those specific long chain molecules for your slime to work. Making slime is not just a super fun sensory activity, it’s actually a science experiment all about chemistry! To make slime you need a base of washable glue. It’s so easy, my toddler is going to show you how to make it! Looking for the perfect fluffy slime recipe without borax? This slime is super fluffy, easy to make, and borax free.
