Sensory DIY Project: Foam Slime

Foam is a great tactile sensory tool. It's easy to make with supplies that are found around the house. It also stores nicely for use on multiple occasions. Foam slime is fun to squeeze in your hands. You can stretch it, roll it, or bounce it.

Foam slime

Supplies:

  • Mixing bowl
  • Colored glue - 6 oz. bottle - any color work, but colored glitter glue is extra fun
  • Measuring spoons
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. contact solution
  • Mixing spoons
  • Foam beads
  • Plastic storage containers

Directions:

  1. Pour one full 6 oz. bottle of glue into the mixing bowl.
  2. Measure out 1/2 tsp. of baking soda and pour into the bowl.
  3. Add 1 1/2 tbsp. of contact solution into the bowl.
  4. Mix all ingredients together until they begin to congeal together.
  5. Add desired amount of foam beads. - The more beads you add, the less sticky your floam will be.
  6. Use your hands to knead the mixture together.
  7. Store each "blob" of floam in its own plastic storage container.

Pro tip: Try using glow-in-the-dark glue! The results are extra fun!
