Introduction to DIY Easter Slime Toys
Easter’s just around the corner, and if you’re looking for something beyond the traditional egg hunt to keep little hands busy, I’ve got you covered! DIY Easter slime toys are the perfect holiday activity that combines sensory play with festive fun. As a mom who’s survived (and eventually embraced) the slime craze, I can tell you that Easter-themed slimes are guaranteed to be a hit. They’re gooey, stretchy, colorful, and—when given an Easter twist—absolutely magical for kids of all ages. Ready to become the coolest parent on the block? Let’s dive into some egg-cellent slime recipes that your kids won’t just love—they’ll absolutely obsess over!
1. Pastel Easter Egg Slime
This delightful slime captures the essence of Easter with its soft pastel colors reminiscent of dyed Easter eggs. What makes this version special is how each batch can be a different spring shade, then swirled together for a marbled effect that kids find absolutely mesmerizing.
What You’ll Need:
- 4 small bottles of clear school glue (5 oz each)
- Pastel food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, and lavender)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda per batch
- 1-2 tablespoons contact lens solution containing boric acid per batch
- Optional: fine glitter in matching colors
- Mixing bowls and spoons
How to Make It:
- Divide the glue into four separate bowls
- Add different pastel food coloring to each bowl and stir well
- Add a sprinkle of matching glitter to each (if using)
- Mix 1/2 teaspoon baking soda into each bowl
- Add contact solution gradually to each bowl, stirring constantly until the slime forms
- Knead each color with your hands until no longer sticky
Once you’ve created your four pastel slimes, you can leave them separate or gently twist them together for a beautiful marbled Easter egg effect. My daughter spent nearly an hour just pulling and stretching the colors, watching them blend and separate again.

2. Fluffy Bunny Slime
This cloud-like, super-soft slime feels like petting a fluffy bunny! The secret ingredient is shaving cream, which creates an incredibly light texture that kids can’t stop touching. This DIY Easter slime toy is especially popular with younger children who love the unique sensory experience.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 bottle white school glue (5 oz)
- 2-3 cups shaving cream (the foam kind, not gel)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon contact lens solution containing boric acid
- White and pink food coloring
- Optional: mini pink pom-poms for “bunny noses”
How to Make It:
- Pour the glue into a large mixing bowl
- Add the baking soda and mix well
- Add the shaving cream and gently fold it in (the more you add, the fluffier it will be)
- Divide the mixture if you want to make white and pink bunnies
- Add pink food coloring to one portion if making two colors
- Add contact solution slowly while mixing until slime forms
- Knead with hands until it reaches the perfect consistency
My son named his fluffy creation “Mr. Hoppy” and couldn’t stop giggling at how it would slowly “melt” and flatten over time, then puff back up with a little kneading. It’s like having two slimes in one!
Pro Tip: This slime will deflate over time—that’s normal! Just add a little more shaving cream and knead it in to restore the fluffiness.
3. Carrot Patch Slime
This clever DIY Easter slime toy recreates a bunny’s favorite snack—carrots! The vibrant orange base with green “carrot tops” made from green slime creates an adorable Easter-themed sensory play experience that’s as fun to look at as it is to play with.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 bottle clear school glue (5 oz)
- Orange food coloring (or yellow and red to mix)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-2 tablespoons contact lens solution containing boric acid
- Orange glitter (optional)
- Smaller batch of green slime for carrot tops
- Small plastic carrot decorations (optional)
How to Make It:
- Pour the glue into a mixing bowl
- Add orange food coloring and orange glitter if using
- Mix in the baking soda
- Add contact solution gradually while mixing until slime forms
- Knead until no longer sticky
- For green tops: make a small batch of slime with green coloring
- Assemble by placing green slime “leaves” on top of orange slime “carrots”
When my kids’ friends came over for a playdate, this carrot patch slime was the first one they grabbed. Something about the realistic look and the contrast between the orange and green made it irresistible. We ended up making a whole garden theme with it!

The way the light catches all the different colors of glitter as the slime stretches created what she called “the most satisfying slime ever.” Fair warning though—you’ll be finding glitter for days!
Pro Tip: Make this in a large plastic Easter basket for both a festive mixing container and perfect storage solution. Just cover with plastic wrap when not in use!
5. Chocolate Scented “Easter Bunny Poop” Slime

My kids’ reaction to this one? Uncontrollable laughter followed by immediately wanting to show every friend who visited. The chocolate scent makes it extra convincing, and hiding small chocolate-colored beads or mini plastic eggs inside adds to the hilarious effect.

This transparent slime is filled with colorful Easter egg-shaped confetti, creating a beautiful “floating egg” effect that’s mesmerizing to watch. It’s like having a liquid Easter egg hunt right in your hands!

The magic of this slime is in how the confetti eggs seem to float and move as you stretch and fold the clear slime. My daughter spent ages watching the “eggs” appear and disappear as she manipulated the slime. It’s almost hypnotic!
Pro Tip: Keep this slime in a clear container when not in use so you can still see the beautiful confetti display even when it’s being stored.
7. Color-Changing Easter Slime
This might be the most magical of all our DIY Easter slime toys! Using thermochromic pigment (the same stuff used in mood rings), this slime changes color with temperature, creating an interactive experience that seems like Easter magic.

The first time my kids played with this, they thought it was actual magic! The slime changes color when warmed by hands or cooled in the refrigerator. We made a purple-to-pink changing slime that was so fascinating that even the adults couldn’t stop playing with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is homemade slime safe for young children?
Homemade slime is generally safe for children over 3 years old with supervision. Always ensure children don’t put slime in their mouths, and wash hands before and after play. For children with sensitive skin, you might want to use gloves or try alternative recipes without borax derivatives.
How long does homemade Easter slime last?
With proper storage in an airtight container, homemade slime typically lasts 1-2 weeks before it starts to deteriorate. Refrigerating slime can extend its life. If your slime contains perishable ingredients like shaving cream (like in the Fluffy Bunny Slime), it may have a shorter lifespan of about 3-5 days.
Can I make slime without borax?
Yes! While traditional slime recipes use borax or borax derivatives (like contact lens solution containing boric acid), you can make slime using alternatives like saline solution without boric acid combined with baking soda, liquid starch, or even cornstarch and conditioner for a different type of sensory dough.
What can I use instead of food coloring for Easter slime?
Great alternatives to food coloring include liquid watercolors, natural dyes (like turmeric for yellow, beet juice for pink), powdered drink mixes, or even eyeshadow for shimmer colors. Just make sure any alternative is non-toxic and safe for skin contact.
How do I remove slime from carpet or clothing?
For slime stuck in carpet or fabric, first scrape off as much as possible. Then mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water, apply to the area, let sit for 5-10 minutes, and blot with a clean cloth. For stubborn spots, you may need to repeat or use ice to freeze the slime before scraping it off.
Can I make Easter slime ahead of time for a party?
Absolutely! Most slimes can be made 1-2 days ahead. Store each in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. If the slime becomes a bit stiff, kneading it in your hands for a minute will restore its stretchy texture. The Fluffy
