Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Slime

by Angela Thayer 11 Comments

Print RecipeI am so excited to share with you a new sensory play recipe! This fluffy pumpkin spice slime smells amazing, feels incredible, and we can’t stop playing with it! It only needs a few ingredients and you can make this in under 10 minutes.

Here’s What You Need for Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Slime:

  • 3 heaping cups of shaving cream (regular with no special scent)
  • 2-3 drops of orange gel food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Elmer’s glue
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 – 2 tablespoons saline solution + more as needed (make sure the ingredient list includes buffered saline)
  • bowl
  • spatula
  • cutting board or mat

To make this awesome fluffy slime, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Pour three cups of shaving cream into a bowl.
  2. Mix in a few drops of orange gel food coloring. I found that gel gave me the best coloring. I tried liquid food coloring and it turned out pinkish-orange.
  3. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice seasoning to add a lovely scent!
  4. Pour 1/2 cup of glue into the bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix really well.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of saline solution. My kids call this the “magic water” because this ingredient is what makes the ingredients turn to slime!
  6. At first the slime will be pretty sticky. Don’t give up! You need to squirt some more saline solution onto it and knead it on a cutting board. I like to squirt the solution onto my hands and the mat before I knead it.
  7. After it’s not sticky, you can play with it!

This stuff is so fun to play with! It’s squishy, fluffy, and smells great!

Pumpkin Spice Fluffy Slime

It’s a perfect activity for fall! Smells like pumpkin pie!

My little guy loved playing with it and it kept him busy for a long time!

After you’re done playing with it, store in a sealed bag. It will last for 2-3 days.

      There are more than three cups in a can of shaving cream. One can of shaving cream can make about 3 batches of fluffy slimes.

      It doesn’t stain once it’s mixed together to make slime. It does not leave color marks on tables or hands.

    The amount of slime shown in the pictures, does that recipe make that much or did you double/triple it?

    Looks like fun!
    Does it stick to hair and clothes like silly putty made with glue and liquid starch?
    thank you for sharing

      It shouldn’t be that sticky. I wouldn’t recommend putting near your hair or clothes, but it shouldn’t be sticky.

    […] Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Slime from Teaching Mama – The only challenge with this slimy pumpkin activity is that you and your preschoolers just might have to resist the temptation to eat it once you smell its amazing pumpkin pie aroma!  Otherwise, this fluffy slime takes the cake (or the pie?) in the sensory department!  This can provide hours of exploration and fun.  Kids that may have some tactile sensitivity might be more comfortable manipulating their slime in a plastic bag. This slime will also last 2-3 days if stored in a sealed bag. […]
