What is Butter Slime?

Butter slime gets its name from its smooth, spreadable texture, similar to softened butter. Unlike some slimes that can be sticky or stiff, butter slime offers a luxuriously soft and cloud-like feel. It's perfect for moulding, stretching, poking, and making those oh-so-satisfying squishing sounds, just like our Bunny Popsicles DIY Slime or Iced Vovo Hot Cross Bun DIY Slime.

Best Butter Slime Recipe with 3 Ingredients

Now, let's get down to the fun part – creating your butter slime! Here's what you'll need:

1. ½ cup of white school glue (PVA glue)
2. 1 cup of air-dry clay
3. ½ cup of activator

Optional Ingredients:

1. Food colouring of your choice
2. Fragrance oil (suitable for children's skin)
3. Tiny craft sprinkles

Equipment:

1. Mixing bowl
2. Spoon
3. Kneading surface (optional)

Easy 3-Ingredient Butter Slime Recipe Instructions:

1. Prepare your slime base:

Pour the white school glue into your mixing bowl. You can add a few drops of your chosen food colouring at this stage if you'd like coloured slime. Mix well using your spoon.

2. Activate!

Slowly add the activator to the glue mixture, one tablespoon at a time, and stir well after each addition.

3. Time for the magic:

Once the glue mixture becomes thicker and less runny, it's time to incorporate the air dry clay, the most important part of butter slime recipe. Add the air dry clay in small pieces, kneading it into the slime mixture with your hands.

4. Squish and knead:

Continue kneading the slime until all the modeling clay is fully incorporated, and the slime reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency. If your slime feels too sticky, add a little more activator, one teaspoon at a time, until you achieve the desired texture.

Top Tip: If your slime feels too dry, you can add a few drops of water to create a smoother consistency.

5. Playtime!

Congratulations, you've just created a batch of fantastic butter slime! Now comes the fun part – playtime! Stretch it, mold it, squish it, and let your creativity flow.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there another way to activate the slime besides activator?

Traditionally, slime recipes use activators like borax solution or contact lens solution. However, we can utilise baby oil or lotion to activate the slime, making it a safe and readily available option, especially for households with young children.

2. My slime is too dry! How can I fix it?

If your slime feels dry and crumbly, don't worry! Add a few drops of water at a time and knead it in until the slime reaches a smoother texture. Be mindful not to add too much water, as it can make the slime runny.

3. Can I use a different type of glue for the butter slime recipe?

While white school glue (PVA glue) works best, you can experiment with clear glue. However, the slime might not be as opaque or hold its shape as well.

4. I followed the recipe, but my butter slime is sticky. How can I fix it?

If your butter slime feels sticky, there's a simple fix! Add a little more activator and knead the slime until the stickiness disappears. Remember, adding too much activator can make your slime too runny, so take it slow and add small amounts until you achieve the desired consistency.
