DIY Edible Floam Slime Recipe

If you can’t tell by all the slime recipes on the blog, we areย huge slime fans in our house!!

When we first started making homemade slime, my youngest daughter was two years old, so I wanted to make sure that we made toddler safe slime recipes. That way she could join in the slime fun, and I wouldn’t have to worry about her getting any toxic chemicals in her mouth.

Why I love this Taste-Safe Floam recipe:

  1. Easy to make (only 4 ingredients)
  2. Safe and non-toxic (no glue, borax, liquid starch, etc)
  3. Quick clean-up (washes right off with water)

Growing up, I loved the “floam” slime that you could buy in storesย โ€” ooey, gooey slime packed full of itty bitty foam balls for an extra fluffy texture.

However, traditional floam is usually made with ingredients that might not be safe for little hands – so we decided to make our own taste-safe version!

The result is a super-squishy edible floam that smells amazing and you don’t have to worry if anyone gives it a taste!

I especially love how this floam clumps up into balls that you can squish in your hands, almost like a stress-reliever. So much fun! I could play with floam for hours, as it brought back so many childhood memories. Of course, the kids loved it too! ๐Ÿ˜‰

How to Make Edible Floam with Marshmallows

Start by whipping up a batch of our edible silly putty slime (our most popular slime recipe of all time!)

Once you’ve got the perfect slime, add a cup of mini marshmallows to the bowl. Stir with a spoon until marshmallows are coated in slime.

Tip: We actually finish mixing our floam by hand, because it allows us to work the marshmallows in better.ย 

We aim for a ratio of 2/3 marshmallows to 1/3 slime. This gives the floam a bouncy, fluffy texture – it makes a great sensory stress reliever! Feel free to adjust to your own preferences.

Another option is to cut your marshmallows in half to get smaller “foam” balls, more like the traditional floam that you might find in stores. Since this takes a little extra time, we often stick to the whole marshmallows, but both varieties are super satisfying to play with!

Can Kids Really Eat This Slime?

Here’s the scoop…

Yes, this DIY floam is taste-safe. However it’s not really “food” and not meant to be eaten in large amounts.

It’s meant to be safe for little kids who are always sticking things in their mouth. And fun!

Always supervise young children when playing with any slime recipe.
