Notice. Wonder. Make: Slime!

Are you in need of a fun and engaging activity that can benefit everyone in your family? Look no further than… SLIME!

This hands-on creation process is more than just a messy playtime; it's a fantastic sensory experience that can help with relaxation, mindfulness, and stress relief. Whether you're seeking creative classroom activities, engaging indoor entertainment for those rainy days, or in need of calming sensory play, slime offers a unique way to unwind and explore your creativity.

Supplies

• 1 cup of white Elmers’s glue

• 1 teaspoon of Borax

• 1 cup of water

• Paint or food colouring (as much or as little as you want!)

• 2 to 4 cups of shaving cream

• Sparkles

• Bowl

• Spoon

• Storage container

Step 1: In a separate container from your slime bowl, make the Borax mixture by combining:

• 1 cup of water

• 1 teaspoon Borax

• Mix until the Borax is dissolved in water

Step 2: Add glue to the slime bowl (different from your Borax bowl!).

Step 3: Add 1 teaspoon of the Borax mixture to the glue and stir. Add additional Borax mix until you have the consistency you would like.

Step 4: Add a few drops of food colouring and mix.

Tip: You can also add essential oil for a calming or fun smell!

Step 5: Add the shaving cream! Now squish, mix, and knead until the mixture isn’t sticky.

Step 6: Add the sparkles and mix some more.

Voila! Your slime is ready to be squished, shaped, and molded to your heart’s content.

Storage: Keep in a sealed container or Ziplock bag. The fluffiness of the shaving cream will dissipate in a day or so.
