Cloud Slime

This cloud slime is soooo soft! Add instant snow to a simple slime recipe to make a slime that’s puffy, fluffy, and super cloud-like in texture.

Instant snow (read more about it below!) is really magical. Add a small amount of snow powder to water to watch it transform into a full bowl of fluffy snow. It’s so cool! And it makes the slime foamy, stretchy, and super fun to play with!

Helpful Tips:

1. If your slime is too sticky, keep kneading it! This slime recipe can take a bit of working to get the right texture.
2. The more you play with this slime, and the more snow you add, the fluffier it gets!

What is instant snow? What is the best brand to make cloud slime?

Instant snow is a powder that expands like magic when you add water, but it’s actually science! It’s made of a something called sodium polyacrylate, which is a superabsorbent (and non-toxic) polymer.

Basically, it can absorb about 300 times its own weight in water, which makes it expand like it does.

We tried two different brands of instant snow, and while both of them worked, we preferred SnoWonder. It made the slime fluffier and softer!

How can I make my cloud slime soft again?

As you play with the cloud slime it will thicken and become less stretchy. To make the slime puffy and soft again, add more instant snow!

Do I need to add shaving cream to my cloud slime?

Some cloud slime recipes include a bit of shaving cream, but we didn’t find it necessary to add any. While shaving cream does add a foamy texture to slime, it generally only lasts for a few hours.

Instant snow makes this slime a perfect fluffy texture without any extra ingredients. But if you’re looking for a fun slime recipe that includes shaving cream, check out our fluffy slime!

What is the best activator for making a cloud slime recipe?

We like to use contact lens solution to make our slime recipes. It’s easy to find in stores, it has a long shelf life, and it works really well!

Make sure that you choose a contact solution that contains boric acid. We prefer Renu Advanced Formula from Bausch + Lomb (called Renu Fresh here in Canada).

You could also use instant starch to make cloud slime, or even dissolve borax in hot water to use as an activator.

Learning how to make cloud slime is so much fun! It’s SO FLUFFY, fun to play with, and it’s really easy to make!
