How to Make Unicorn Slime

In a bowl or container, measure out ½ cup white glue.

Then add ½ cup shaving cream. Shaving cream can be a little tough to measure, so don't worry if you add a little extra.

Mix the shaving cream and glue together and add ½ cup of foaming hand wash to the mixture. Mix all the ingredients well. The slime will be super foamy at this point.

Add in ½ teaspoon of cornstarch and about ½ teaspoon of body lotion. These will help your slime stretch and be fluffy.

Next, add a few drops of food coloring. You want your slime to be pastel colored, so 1-2 drops should be enough.

Add glitter if you wish. This is optional, but if your kids love glitter as much as mine do, you'll want to make this slime very glittery. I just think it looks more magical with glitter.

Next, add in ½ teaspoon of baking soda. (Start with ½ of a teaspoon and add more during kneading if you need to.) Baking soda is what will thicken your slime up.

Finally, add in contact saline solution. Start with ¾ tablespoon. If you need to add a bit more, you can. Saline solution makes the slime less sticky. You will know you have enough, when the slime pulls away from the side of the bowl.

Knead the slime and set it to the side.

Repeat the process for the next 4 colors. You will have 5 colors in total: pink, purple, teal, yellow and white.

Swirl the colors together to make a colorful rainbow unicorn slime.

This slime can be stored in an airtight container if your kids don't want to play with it right away. After noticing my kids leaving slime everywhere and finding lots of messes, I purchased these containers and they have been a life saver.

Now that you know how to make unicorn slime, you can make it all the time.

We had a unicorn themed birthday party for my twins this past year and this unicorn poop slime was the hit of the party.

In case you are wondering what happens when your kids play with the unicorn slime and the colors combine, this is how it looks. It becomes a glittery lavender color.
