Today, we are sharing a new slime recipe for snow using only two ingredients!
Easy for mom and fun for the littles? What?!
Rush to make this now!
Snowman slime is icy-cold to the touch just like real snow. Kids will have a blast making oozing snowmen and melting snowballs. They can also make "snowman farts".
(I'm not sure what it is about kids and farts, but my littles loved this! Read more about that at the bottom of the post)
Are you ready to make snowman slime?
Snowman Slime Recipe
- 2 cups of chilled white glue
- 4-8 ounces of chilled liquid starch
Optional additions:
A Tip: Refrigerate the glue and liquid starch overnight. This step is crucial for achieving the icy & frosty temperature that makes this slime so unique and special.
Method
- Begin by pouring 2 cups of chilled school glue into a large mixing bowl.
- Slowly begin to add liquid starch, slowly adding more starch and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
- Once the slime begins to form transfer it to a new bowl & continue to knead with clean, dry hands.
- After a bit of kneading you will have delightfully fun, icy-cold snow slime!
Rosie added a bit more starch to her bowl than Jewel, but that was ok! This is a very forgiving recipe.
NOTE:
- Less starch will give you a more oozy slime.
- More starch will give you a rubber-like slime.
- Don't worry about exact measurements. Just be sure to slowly add the starch & mix well in-between.
- Playing with the ingredients is all part of the fun of making slime at home.
Extend the Fun:
- Cut shapes from craft foam so that kids can make oozing snowmen.
- Add cookie cutters to make slime snowflakes.
- Add cars and trucks.
- Add winter play animals.
- Add Frozen figurines.
- Make snowman farts! To do this squeeze some of your snow slime into a small jar or container. We used baby food jars. As the slime is squeezed into the jar you will hear a "fart". Hahahaha! :)

Tips & Storage:
