Every season is a fun season for making homemade slime recipes and winter is no exception, even if you don’t have real snow! Learn how to make snow slime with the kids this season for a truly unique slime experience everyone will love!
Snow Slime Recipe
There’s more than one way to play with snow this season, and it’s called homemade snow slime! Maybe you have piles of the real stuff outside right now, or you only dream about seeing real snow. Either way, we have fun ways to play with snow indoors, snow slime!
💡 Don’t want to make snow slime with liquid starch? Check out our slime recipes with saline solution or borax powder.
You will need:
- 1/2 Cup White PVA School Glue
- 1/4 Cup of Liquid Starch
- 1/2 Cup of Water
- Instant Snow
Instructions:
STEP 1: In a bowl add 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup glue and mix well to combine completely.
STEP 2: Slowly pour in 1/4 cup of liquid starch and stir well.
You will see the slime immediately start to form and pull away from the sides of the bowl. Keep stirring until you have a gooey blob of slime. The liquid should be gone!
For a single batch of slime, 1/4 cup of starch does the trick. If you think it’s still too sticky, continue to add a few drops at a time until you find the consistency you want.
💡 SLIME MAKING TIP: If your cloud slime still feels too sticky, you need more activator or liquid starch. Be careful, and add just a little at a time until you get the consistency you want. If you add too much liquid starch your slime will become stiff and rubbery. You can always add, but you can’t take away.
STEP 3: Make your instant snow by following the instructions on the package. Add about 1/2 cup of the instant snow to your slime by kneading it in. Enjoy the satisfying mix!
My son has enjoyed adding more and more until we have a crazy thick cloud dough. Again, slime making is science and it’s all about experimenting with the process and the ingredients. Mix it up and enjoy the slimy fun!

Storing Your Snow Slime
I get a lot of questions regarding how I store my slime. Usually, we use a reusable container, either plastic or glass. If you keep your slime clean, it will last for several weeks. You can also buy a stack of deli containers. Check out our slime supplies list and resource.
If you forget to store your slime in a closed container, it does actually last a couple of days uncovered. If the top gets crusty, fold it into itself.
If you want to send kids home with a bit of slime from a camp, party, or classroom project, I would suggest packages of reusable containers from the dollar store.
