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
*Note – if you don’t want this to have the pumpkin spice scent, just omit the pumpkin spice seasoning.
To make this awesome fluffy slime, just follow these simple steps:
- Pour three cups of shaving cream into a bowl.
- 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.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice seasoning to add a lovely scent!
- Pour 1/2 cup of glue into the bowl along with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix really well.
- 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!
- 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.
- After it’s not sticky, you can play with it!

Ours turned out amazing but it seems kind of dried out the next day … we are more Saline solution fix that or make it worse?
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.
The amount of slime shown in the pictures, does that recipe make that much or did you double/triple it?
The amount shown in the pictures is just one batch.
Doesn’t food coloring stain?
It doesn’t stain once it’s mixed together to make slime. It does not leave color marks on tables or hands.
Approximately how many cans of shaving cream =3 cups?
Thanks.
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.
Can’t wait to try this in my classroom. I know the kiddos are going to love it.
